Naval Commanders Conference 2021
The Naval Commanders’ Conference which commenced on 18 October 2021, concluded after four days of fruitful deliberations. The RM highlighted that Indian Navy had spent more than two-thirds of the Modernisation Budget in the last five years towards indigenous procurement and out of 41 ships and submarines ordered by the Navy, 39 are from Indian shipyards, which is a testament to the Navy’s commitment to ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’. He urged IN to maintain the momentum achieved thus far and assured that the steps taken by the Government will give it more strength to increase the lethal strike capability.
