Indian Navy Chief Highlights Nation’s Self-Reliance in Warship Construction
With the Indian Navy aiming to become a 175-warship force by 2035, the BJP-led government has put a lot of emphasis on domestic production of defense items in the country, including accomplishing 100 percent indigenization in warship building.
Indian Navy Chief Admiral R Hari Kumar has revealed the levels of self-reliance the country's defense ship-building industry has achieved amid a 2047 deadline to accomplish self-reliance in all fields of maritime power.
"A ship has three components - float, move, and fight. In the float component, we have achieved almost 95 percent (self-reliance). In the 'move' component, we are somewhere at 65 percent and in the 'fight' component, we are at 55 percent," Kumar said in Pune city of India's Maharashtra state on Monday.
"Our ultimate goal is to make the Indian defense sector aatmanirbhar (self-reliant) and amplify entrepreneurship in the industry," he added.
Kumar's comments regarding achieving 100 percent self-reliance come at a time when the Indian Navy is pushing for the construction of a second indigenous aircraft carrier.
While India already has two operational aircraft carriers at present, the Navy wants a third to have two
carrier battle groups ready for
deployment at all times.
The Navy commissioned the first indigenous aircraft carrier, Vikrant, in 2022, while the Russian-origin Vikramaditya joined the service in 2013.
