- Featuring a displacement of 43,500 tons and a length of 223.6 meters, the platform stands out with an 82 percent indigenization rate.
- The ships will enable warships to remain at sea for 60 days without returning to base by providing fuel, ammunition, and water replenishment.
Strategic Horizon in the Indian Ocean: The Launch of Surya
Technical Capacity and Logistics Superiority
Operational Flexibility and Self-Defense Capabilities
Designed for an uninterrupted operational endurance of 60 days, the Surya-class ships will reinforce India's strategic presence in global waters, particularly in the Indian Ocean Region (IOR). Enhancing the power of the existing tankers INS Shakti, INS Jyoti, INS Deepak, and INS Aditya in the fleet, these next-generation platforms will eliminate the necessity for combat elements to return to main bases, maximizing operational tempo and deterrence.
