Indian Navy Receives Indigenous Diving Support Vessel 'Nipun' to Enhance Rescue Capabilities
The Indian Navy has received 'Nipun', the second indigenous Diving Support Vessel built by Hindustan Shipyard Limited, enhancing deep sea diving, submarine rescue, and salvage capabilities. With over 75-80% indigenous content, the 118-meter vessel supports saturation diving, remotely operated vehicles, and serves as a mother ship for rescue operations. This delivery advances India's self-reliance in naval shipbuilding under the Aatmanirbhar Bharat initiative and strengthens maritime preparedness through collaboration between the Navy, government, and public sector shipyards.
