Qatar commuted the death sentence handed down to the Indians and sentenced them to prison for varying durations.
The verdict came weeks after the family members of the Indians filed an appeal against the earlier order by another court.
The Navy veterans were on October 26 given death sentences by Qatar's Court of First Instance.
Sixty days' time has been given to file an appeal against the order at Qatar's highest court, External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said at a media briefing.
