The Indian Navy is set to add a specialised new platform to its deep-sea fleet, with Nipun, the second Diving Support Vessel (DSV) of the Nistar-class, scheduled to be commissioned at the Naval Dockyard in Mumbai on August 31.
Built to support some of the Navy’s most specialised underwater missions, Nipun will strengthen capabilities in deep-sea diving, underwater intervention and submarine rescue operations. Its induction will add to the Navy’s ability to sustain operations beneath the surface across India’s maritime areas of interest.
