The Indian Navy has inducted two new warships, marking a significant moment in its modernization efforts. One of the vessels, the INS Imphal, is an indigenously built guided missile destroyer, showcasing India’s growing self-reliance in defense manufacturing under the ‘Aatmanirbhar Bharat’ initiative. The other, INS Tushil, is the final warship to be procured from Russia, signaling the end of India’s import of major platforms from the country. This dual induction reflects both the culmination of long-standing foreign collaborations and a decisive shift towards indigenous production in naval defense.
