Indian Navy's 2025 Commanders' Conference to Boost Combat Capabilities and Deter Threats
The Indian Navy is set to hold its second biannual Commanders' Conference 2025 in New Delhi from October 22 to 24. The conference aims to bolster combat capabilities, interoperability, and joint operations with the Indian Army, Indian Air Force, and Indian Coast Guard, while also deterring emerging threats in the Indian Ocean Region (IOR) and Indo-Pacific.
The conference, to be attended by the Navy's apex leadership, will review operational preparedness on both the Western and Eastern Seaboards. It will also focus on boosting indigenisation and innovation under the 'Make in India' scheme, and promoting the Indian Navy as the 'Preferred Security Partner' in the IOR and Indo-Pacific. The event will feature addresses by the Chief of Defence Staff and the Chief of the Air Staff, and embedded discussions with senior naval leadership to optimize resources and enhance capability.
The conference will be attended by Admiral Dinesh K Tripathi, the Chief of the Naval Staff. He will review and assess the overall security situation in the Indian Ocean Region. The Defence Minister and Cabinet Secretary will also address the Naval Commanders, providing a perspective on broader national interests and vision towards 'Viksit Bharat 2047'. The Commanders will discuss the Navy's roadmap for the future, including key enablers, improved operational logistics, digitisation, and disruptive technologies like AI, Big Data, and Machine Learning.
The Commanders' Conference 2025 is expected to strengthen the Indian Navy's strategic posture and operational readiness. It will also provide a platform for high-level discussions on the Navy's future trajectory and its role in safeguarding India's maritime interests.
