Samudrayaan: India Set to Send Three People to Depth of 6,000 Metres

Submersible vehicle the MATSYA 6000 will have an endurance of 12 hours of operation under normal situations, and up to 96 hours in case of emergency.
Indian Minister for Earth Sciences Kiren Rijiju on Thursday told parliament that soon the country would be sending three personnel to a depth of 6,000 metres in a submersible vehicle.
“Deep Ocean Mission supports the Blue Economy policy of the government having potential for country’s GDP growth, and envisages sustainable utilization of ocean resources for economic growth of the country, improved livelihoods and jobs, and ocean ecosystem health”, the federal minister stated.
India’s ambitious Samudrayaan project aims to explore deep-sea resources to study marine resources and conduct biodiversity assessments.
India has a 7,517 km coastline -- home to nine coastal states and 1,382 islands.
Samudrayaan's mission aims to boost the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi government's vision for a "New India" that highlights the blue economy as one of the 10 core dimensions of growth.
The minister also clarified that the
mission will not disturb the ecosystem, as the submersible is used solely for exploration purposes.
“The Samudrayaan project is expected to be realized by 2026 and is being designed and developed by the National Institute of Ocean Technology (NIOT) in Chennai”, Indian media reported.
If the mission is
successfully achieved, India will join the elite group of countries with specialist technology and vehicles to conduct subsea missions, including the United States, Russia, France, Japan, and China.
