The Indian Navy significantly strengthened its coastal defense capabilities with the launch of the third Indigenous Diving Support Craft (DSC A 22) on September 12, 2025. Built by Titagarh Rail Systems Ltd (TRSL) at its Falta shipyard in West Bengal, this vessel is part of a five-ship series designed to support Command Clearance Diving Teams in essential underwater operations. With a catamaran hull displacing approximately 380 tons, the DSCs are equipped with state-of-the-art diving equipment sourced indigenously, adhering to strict naval and Indian Register of Shipping standards. The hydrodynamic design and model testing were conducted by the Naval Science and Technological Laboratory in Visakhapatnam, ensuring high performance and safety. The project, contracted by the Ministry of Defence in February 2021, demonstrates the success of the Make in India and Aatmanirbhar Bharat initiatives by showcasing TRSL’s expanding naval shipbuilding expertise. Besides operational roles such as underwater inspections, salvage, and submarine rescue, these vessels also serve as training platforms, enhancing the Indian Navy’s self-reliance and readiness in maritime defense. The launch ceremony was presided over by Vice Admiral Suraj Berry, highlighting strong collaboration between the Navy and Indian industry.
