Indian Navy pushes Maritime Capability Perspective Plan target to 2032

The Indian Navy has extended its Maritime Capability Perspective Plan (MCPP) deadline to 2032 due to various constraints, including budgetary limitations. Vice Admiral Sameer Saxena stated that while shipbuilding has become more efficient, achieving the original ambitious numbers was challenging. The Navy is focused on indigenisation, aiming for 100% by 2047, and is strategically positioned in the Indian Ocean region.
