India’s New Submarine-Killing Machine Is Ready for Action- INS Mahe Commissioned!

The Indian Navy marked a major leap in its anti-submarine warfare strength today as INS Mahe was successfully commissioned in the presence of Vice Admiral Krishna Swaminathan, Flag Officer Commanding-in-Chief, Western Naval Command, and Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi. This commissioning is not just the addition of a new ship—it’s the rise of a stronger security shield protecting India’s coastal waters. INS Mahe is a fully indigenous Shallow Water Anti-Submarine Warfare Craft built to detect and destroy enemy submarines hiding in shallow seas. Its induction gives India faster response, sharper surveillance, and a stronger maritime presence.

80% Indigenous - A Milestone for Aatmanirbhar Bharat

One of the most impressive features of INS Mahe is that over 80% of it is built with Indian technology and equipment. Cochin Shipyard Limited’s engineering brilliance and India’s defence self-reliance shine through in every component of this vessel. With INS Mahe joining the fleet, India is now among the select nations capable of designing and manufacturing advanced shallow-water submarine-hunting crafts. This commissioning strengthens the vision of ‘Aatmanirbhar Bharat’ and proves that India can independently develop complex anti-submarine platforms. India’s coastal surveillance and control over sensitive waters is now stronger than ever before.

Abhay Sonar and Next-Gen Sensors Give INS Mahe Its Killing Power

The real power of INS Mahe lies in its advanced sonar and underwater detection systems. Its hull-mounted ‘Abhay Sonar’ can identify even the tiniest underwater movement. Supported by low-frequency sonar, advanced acoustic sensors, underwater communication systems, and target-tracking software, INS Mahe becomes a deadly submarine-hunting weapon. These technologies create a real-time underwater surveillance zone where no enemy submarine can hide. This gives the Indian Navy unmatched awareness and control deep beneath the ocean surface.

India’s New Symbol of Strength at Sea

With the commissioning ceremony complete, INS Mahe emerges as a new symbol of India’s offensive and defensive maritime power. Its induction boosts India’s presence at sea—whether it’s coastal patrolling, stopping enemy intrusions, or tracking hostile submarines instantly. The presence of Vice Admiral Krishna Swaminathan and General Upendra Dwivedi made the event historic and sent a strong global message: India is not just alert, but fully ready to neutralize any submarine threat at the very moment it appears. 

INS Mahe has amplified the Indian Navy’s roar, making it stronger and more powerful than ever.
