INS Parundu is an Indian naval air station located near Uchipuli in the Ramanathapuram district of the state of Tamil Nadu. It operates under the Eastern Naval Command of the Indian Navy.
The airfield in Ramanathapuram district was previously the abandoned Ramnad Civil Aerodrome. Naval aviation first utilised the facilities in 1982, to monitor the Palk Strait in the wake of the Sri Lankan Civil War. The facilities were fully transferred to the Navy on 9 June 1985, and the naval air station was initially commissioned INS Rajali II. On 26 March 2009, the base was renamed and commissioned as INS Parundu, for the Tamil word for an eagle.
