Indian Navy Chief Admiral Dinesh Tripathi held the Navy’s annual press conference in New Delhi, highlighting key achievements and future plans. He announced that the Navy will receive its first set of four Rafale M fighter jets in 2029, following a deal signed earlier this year. Since the last Navy Day on December 4, 2024, the Navy has commissioned one submarine and 12 warships. Admiral Tripathi detailed the Navy’s extensive relief operations in Sri Lanka and anti-piracy efforts in the Gulf of Aden, where 138 ships have been deployed since November 2023. The Navy apprehended 62 pirate ships, responded to over 30 incidents, and saved 520 lives at sea. He also noted that Operation Sindoor impacted the Pakistani economy, with shipping companies avoiding Pakistani ports and increased insurance premiums. The operation remains ongoing, with the Indian carrier battle group restricting Pakistani naval movement. The Navy has logged 11,000 ship days and 50,000 flying hours since last Navy Day.
