INS Guldar Submerged Off Sindhudurg to Create India's First Underwater Warship Museum

India's first underwater warship museum has been established off the Sindhudurg coast in Maharashtra with the successful submersion of the decommissioned INS Guldar. Led by the Maharashtra Tourism Development Corporation, the project aims to promote marine tourism, preserve naval heritage, and support local livelihoods. The vessel was cleaned and prepared to serve as an artificial coral reef and scuba diving attraction. A submarine facility is also planned to allow non-divers to view the site safely.
