India’s maritime innovation ecosystem continues to gain momentum with the upcoming Autonomous Maritime Shipbuilding & Systems Centre near Juvvaladinne fishing harbour in SPSR Nellore district, Andhra Pradesh. Developed by Sagar Defence Engineering with support from the state government, the centre will span 29.58 acres in Phase-1 and focus on advanced maritime technologies such as Unmanned Surface Vessels (USVs), Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs), and AI-enabled maritime systems. The centre will house R&D, testing, MRO, and training facilities, while also generating 300+ employment opportunities, further strengthening India’s position as a hub for next-generation maritime technology.
This development reflects the strong impetus created by the Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways’ reforms and forward-looking initiatives, which are revitalising India’s maritime sector and encouraging private innovation.

#VijayDiwas Reception
Celebrating the Spirit of #Atmanirbharta.
The event provided a platform for innovators from the #IndianArmy, academia and the indigenous defence industry to showcase their cutting-edge innovations, which were highly appreciated by the Hon’ble President. The event highlighted the growing synergy between the Indian Army, research institutions and the defence industry in driving indigenous capability development.
The #IndianArmy remains steadfast in its commitment to the vision of a self-reliant and #ViksitBharat2047. (2/2)
“India will never forget the valour of our Armed Forces that led to the win in the 1971 war.” - Honourable Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi Ji
Commemorating the unparalleled valour that led to India’s decisive victory in the 1971 war, the inspiring ‘At Home’ dinner at #ArmyHouse on the eve of #VijayDiwas was a moment that brought together remembrance, gratitude, and national pride, graced by the Honourable #President of India, Smt DroupadI Murmu Ji (@rashtrapatibhvn) and the Honourable #RakshaMantri, Shri @rajnathsingh Ji alongside Gallantry Award winners, Sportspersons, Achievers from varied fields and senior Indian leadership, underscoring India’s expanding #global defence engagement and the growing international confidence in the nation’s #homegrown military technologies.
Our Co-Founder and CFO, Mridul Babbar (@Mdlski) had the honour to meet the Honourable Chief of the Army Staff (#COAS), General Upendra Dwivedi, PVSM, AVSM, @adgpi, accompanied by the President of the Army Wives Welfare Association (#AWWA), Smt Sunita Dwivedi Ji.
The event featured #indigenously developed technology and niche capabilities, reflecting the Indian Army’s steady transformation into a modern, innovative and self-reliant force. As the nature of warfare and security is evolving, #autonomous and unmanned technologies are emerging as critical force multipliers. Platforms such as Autonomous Cargo Carrying Aerial Vehicle (#ACAV), the Autonomous Weaponised Boat Swarm (#AWBS), and the Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (#AUV) are redefining surveillance, reconnaissance, and #maritime dominance, while significantly reducing risk to human life.
