Each carrier anchors a Carrier Battle Group — destroyers, frigates, subs, and patrol aircraft working in perfect harmony.
A floating fortress. A message of readiness.

Why two carriers?
Because India’s economy and energy lifelines depend on the seas.
One carrier on each coast = continuous presence and deterrence.
And the next chapter?
👉 INS Vishal — the supercarrier of the future.

For over 60 years, India has operated aircraft carriers — longer than any Asian navy.
From the legendary INS Vikrant (1961) to today’s twin giants, the Indian Navy’s doctrine has evolved from sea control to sea dominance.
