Naval Advancements of India in 2024

The year 2024 marked a decisive transformation in India’s naval power, firmly positioning the Indian Navy as a leading force in the Indo-Pacific. This Global Eye Intelligence report delivers a comprehensive strategic assessment of India’s most significant naval advancements—spanning nuclear deterrence, undersea dominance, indigenous shipbuilding, and regional power projection.

The report examines landmark inductions such as INS Arighat, India’s second Arihant-class SSBN, and INS Tushil, a stealth frigate enhancing blue-water reach. It analyses major modernisation initiatives including Project-77 nuclear attack submarines, Project-75 and Project-75(I) AIP-enabled submarines, and the approval of 100-tonne Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (UUVs) to strengthen underwater surveillance and denial capabilities. Together, these developments reinforce India’s second-strike credibility, maritime domain awareness, and control of the Indian Ocean Region.

Beyond platforms, the report assesses strategic objectives—regional cooperation, logistics expansion, cybersecurity risks, and the long-term goal of operating 200 naval assets and multiple carrier groups. Threat analysis and forward-looking recommendations provide clarity on budgetary pressures, cyber vulnerabilities, and geopolitical reactions from China and other major powers.

Maritime power is built quietly—until it reshapes regional order. Those who track India’s naval rise early understand Indo-Pacific stability before it becomes contested. Follow Global Eye Intelligence to stay ahead of defence and maritime power shifts shaping Asia’s future.
