DRDO, Indian Navy Validate New Multi-Influence Ground Mine

09 May 2025 CW Team

The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and the Indian Navy have successfully conducted combat firing, using reduced explosives, of the indigenously developed Multi-Influence Ground Mine (MIGM). This advanced underwater mine has been designed by the Naval Science and Technological Laboratory, Visakhapatnam, in collaboration with other DRDO laboratories in Pune and Chandigarh.

MIGM is engineered to strengthen the Indian Navy’s undersea warfare capabilities by countering modern stealth ships and submarines. It marks a key advancement in indigenous defence manufacturing and undersea combat readiness.

Production of the mine will be handled by Bharat Dynamics Limited, Visakhapatnam, and Apollo Microsystems Limited, Hyderabad. These partnerships reinforce the role of domestic industry in strategic defence development.

The system’s successful validation trial signifies that it is now ready for induction into the Indian Navy. It reflects India's growing capabilities in defence technology, especially in the field of naval warfare.

This development is part of the government's continued efforts to boost indigenous innovation in defence under the “Aatmanirbhar Bharat” initiative, focusing on self-reliance and advanced military systems.
