The helicopter will be officially handed to the MNDF at a ceremony on Wednesday.
Indian Defence Minister AK Anthony visited the Maldives in August, and after his visit the Indian High Commission said the Indian government would provide a helicopter and assistance to establish a 25-bed military hospital in Malé.
The helicopter has been re-painted with a Maldivian flag and a sign reading MNDF.
