Navy Chief Admiral Dinesh K Tripathi confirmed that Operation Sindoor is ongoing, highlighting the Indian Navy’s assertive posture that has compelled the Pakistan Navy to remain close to their ports. During his annual press conference, he noted that the Indian Navy maintained heightened operational readiness in the Western Arabian Sea in the months following hostilities with Pakistan. The operation has reportedly exerted financial pressure on Pakistan, with a significant reduction in merchant shipping to the country and increased insurance costs for vessels traveling there. This situation underscores the strategic effectiveness of the Indian Navy’s deterrent capabilities and its impact on regional maritime dynamics.
