Operation Sindoor: A Maritime Display of India's Naval Prowess

The Indian Navy took center stage during Operation Sindoor, showcasing its formidable deterrent capacity that kept Pakistan's forces at bay, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh stated. In a move highlighting India's combat readiness, the deployment included a carrier battle group and submarines after the Pahalgam attack.

The operation is a testament to India's capability, with the naval forces remaining poised to strike select targets, including those at sea and on land like Karachi. Singh praised the navy for its reassuring presence in the Indian Ocean Region, which he described as both a zone of competition and cooperation in global geopolitics.

The naval operations over the past half-year reflected unprecedented deployment, providing safe passage for significant trade routes. Singh emphasized the navy's commitment to advancing strategy in alignment with the evolving global landscape and its contribution to India's self-reliance vision, Aatmanirbhar Bharat.
