In a triple commissioning ceremony at Kolkata, three indigenously built warships - INS Agray, INS Dunagiri and INS Sanshodhak - were inducted into the Indian Navy. The event was held on 21 June 2026, which is also observed as International Yoga Day and World Hydrography Day. Marking the occasion, INS Sanshodhak, described as India's most advanced hydrography ship, was commissioned. The Prime Minister noted that all three vessels were built and designed in India, drawing on the talent of Indian industry, the skill of Indian engineers and the labour of Indian workers. More than 200 MSMEs contributed to their construction, generating employment in small industries. The PM stated that India no longer wishes to remain merely a buyer in the defence sector and aims to become a manufacturer, recalling the earlier commissioning of INS Vikrant as a chapter in India's growing self-reliance. He said over 40 Made in India warships and submarines have joined the Navy in recent years, with 45 large naval platforms currently under construction. A Rs 70,000 crore incentive package has been announced for the shipping sector, framed as an investment in India's maritime future. India's total defence production has risen from around Rs 40,000 crore in 2014 to about Rs 1.8 lakh crore, while defence exports have grown from roughly Rs 700 crore in 2014 to nearly Rs 40,000 crore, with Indian-made defence equipment now reaching more than 80 countries. The Kolkata port is named after Dr Syama Prasad Mookerjee, the country's first industry minister. The PM also highlighted West Bengal's role in India's emerging maritime age across blue economy, maritime manufacturing, logistics and coastal development.
