The Indian Navy\u2019s indigenously built Survey Vessel (Large) Ikshak is set to be commissioned at the Naval Base in Kochi on 6 November 2025. The commissioning ceremony will be presided over by Admiral Dinesh K. Tripathi, Chief of the Naval Staff.<\/p>\n

As the third ship in its class, Ikshak reflects the Navy\u2019s steady progress towards developing state-of-the-art indigenous platforms. Its induction is expected to further strengthen the Navy\u2019s hydrographic survey capabilities.<\/p>\n

The vessel has been constructed by Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers (GRSE) Ltd, Kolkata, under the supervision of the Directorate of Ship Production and the Warship Overseeing Team (Kolkata).<\/p>\n

According to the Navy, Ikshak has over 80% indigenous content, reflecting strong collaboration between GRSE and Indian MSMEs and supporting the vision of Aatmanirbhar Bharat.<\/p>\n

Beyond its primary hydrographic role, Ikshak has been designed with dual-role capability, allowing it to be deployed for Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief (HADR) operations and to serve as a hospital ship during emergencies.<\/p>\n

Ikshak is also the first Survey Vessel (Large) to include dedicated accommodation for women, showcasing the Indian Navy\u2019s inclusive and forward-looking approach towards building a future-ready fleet.<\/p>\n

The name Ikshak, meaning \u201cThe Guide\u201d, symbolises the vessel\u2019s mission to chart uncharted waters, ensure safe navigation for mariners, and enhance India\u2019s maritime strength.<\/p>\n
