The Indian Navy has successfully taken delivery of the first Indigenous Diving Support Craft (DSC A20), marking a significant milestone in India’s self-reliance in naval capabilities. Built by TRSL as part of a contract signed in February 2021, DSC A20 is designed for diverse underwater operations, including salvage and search-and-rescue missions, with advanced diving systems and modern technology. The vessel’s catamaran hull enhances its stability and operational efficiency, while its indigenous construction underscores the government’s Atmanirbhar Bharat and Make in India initiatives aimed at reducing reliance on foreign shipbuilders. The commissioning of DSC A20 not only advances the Navy’s operational readiness but also symbolizes India’s growing shipbuilding capabilities, with four more vessels of this class expected to follow.
