Each exhibitor delivered insightful presentations showcasing solutions pertinent to the Navy's needs, in the esteemed presence of high-ranking dignitaries.

In the aftermath of these deliberations, the Indian Navy is poised to engage with the exhibiting companies to evaluate and adopt the most viable solutions that align with their strategic objectives and operational requirements.
