Navy Day 2025: India celebrates its maritime guardians
India just marked Navy Day, remembering the bold 1971 Operation Trident attack on Karachi Harbour.
President Murmu and PM Modi sent out heartfelt wishes to navy personnel and veterans, highlighting how vital the navy is in keeping our seas safe.
What's new with the Indian Navy?
The navy is in major upgrade mode—50 ships are being built right now, with 12 set to join this year. Big investments (₹1.1 lakh crore!) are fueling this push.
The latest addition is INS Taragiri, a stealth frigate that's mostly made in India and boosts anti-submarine power.
Submarines & secret bases: leveling up security
Project 75 brings six advanced submarines built at home for more self-reliance. Plus, four new landing docks and nuclear subs are on the way.
By next year, Project Varsha—a high-security submarine base near Visakhapatnam—will help India keep an even closer watch over the Indian Ocean.
