Indian Navy modernisation: A new era of strength

The Navy, as the guardian of maritime borders, ensures regional stability

India's location between the Middle East and Southeast Asia positions it at a crucial maritime crossroads. With access to the Indian Ocean—a vital shipping route for global trade, which reportedly accounts for over 80% of the worldwide oil trade through seas—the country's naval power is indispensable for securing its economic and strategic interests.

The Indian Navy, as the primary guardian of the nation's maritime borders, plays a pivotal role in ensuring regional stability. Given the evolving security dynamics in the Indo-Pacific, India is now undergoing a significant naval modernization, aimed not only at enhancing its defense capabilities but also at reinforcing its position as a key player in regional geopolitics.
