Military unit

The Indian Navy, which is the naval warfare branch of the Indian Armed Forces, has approximately over 135 warships on active commission.[1]

By forethought, the IN's Maritime Capability Perspective Plan (MCPP) for the period 2012–2027 had set the objective of the service becoming a 200-ship fleet by 2035.[2] By certain calculations, the IN is still estimated to comprise a future total of 155-160 ships by 2030.[3]

By inventory, the IN's principal assets include its aircraft carrier component – the service has operated a total of four aircraft carriers since 1961; its submarine component – which presently includes a strategic submarine force; and its amphibious component – which principally oversees humanitarian operations.[4] Nevertheless, the IN still lacks certain capability-specific assets – such as mine countermeasures vessels, or are quantitatively inadequate – such as attack submarines.[5]

The IN's fleet inventory is divided amongst its three regional formations:

* Western Naval Command: Headquartered in Mumbai, it consists of the Western Fleet – responsible for naval operations in the Arabian Sea, which flanks India's western coastline.[6] Given its geographical location, it is central to any conflict involving Pakistan.[7]
* Eastern Naval Command: Headquartered in Visakhapatnam, it consists of the Eastern Fleet – responsible for naval operations in the Bay of Bengal, which flanks India's eastern coastline.[6] In addition, it serves as the home command of India strategic submarine fleet – which oversees the country's nuclear second-strike deterrence.[8]
* Southern Naval Command: Headquartered in Kochi, it is the IN's largest command – responsible for service's training requirements.[6]
