TheIndian Navy, thenaval warfare branch of theIndian Armed Forces, operated a fleet of about 145 surface combatant vessels andsubmarines as of November 2025.^[1] By inventory, the Indian Navy's principal assets include itsaircraft carriers – the service has operated four aircraft carriers since 1961,^[2] andsubmarines – which presently includes astrategic submarine force.^[3] It also operates a fleet ofamphibious assault ships,guided missile destroyers, andstealth frigates amongst others.^[4] However, it still lacks certain capability-specific assets such asmine countermeasures vessels, and has quantitatively inadequate fleet of certain vessels such as attack submarines.^[5][6]

The Indian Naval fleet inventory is divided amongst its three regional formations:

• Western Naval Command: Headquartered inMumbai, it consists of theWestern Fleet – responsible for naval operations in theArabian Sea, which flanks India's western coastline.^[7] Given its geographical location, it is central to any conflict involving Pakistan.^[8]
• Eastern Naval Command: Headquartered inVisakhapatnam, it consists of theEastern Fleet – responsible for naval operations in theBay of Bengal, which flanks India's eastern coastline.^[7] In addition, it serves as the home command of India strategic submarine fleet – which oversees the country'snuclear second-strike deterrence force.^[9]
• Southern Naval Command: Headquartered inKochi, it is the Indian Navy's largest command – responsible for service's training requirements.^[7]

The Indian Navy's Maritime Capability Perspective Plan for the period 2012–2027 had set the objective of the service becoming a 250-ship fleet by 2035.^[10] However, as of November 2025, the service is expected to achieve a fleet size of over 200 ships by 2035.^[1][11] Additionally, theNaval air arm operates more than250 aircraft,^[12] includingcarrier-based aircraft,helicopters,maritime patrol aircraft, in support of the fleet.^[13]
