The Portuguese Indian Armadas were the fleets of ships funded by the Crown of Portugal, and dispatched on an annual basis from Portugal to India, principally Goa, and previously to Cochin. These armadas undertook the Carreira da Índia from Iberia, following the maritime discovery of the Cape route, to the Indian Subcontinent by Vasco da Gama in 1497–1499.
