The Indian Navy (IN), which is the naval warfare branch of the Indian Armed Forces, has approximately 135+ warships on active commission.[1]

By forethought, the IN's Maritime Capability Perspective Plan (MCPP) for the period 2012-2027 had set the objective of the service becoming a 200-ship fleet by 2035; however, that number has since been reduced to 175 in December 2019 - principally owing the IN's dearth of budgetary funding, its ageing fleet and delays in the construction of naval assets.[2] By certain calculations, the IN is still estimated to comprise a future total of 155-160 ships by 2030.[3]

By inventory, the IN's principal assets include its aircraft carrier component - the service has operated a total of four aircraft carriers since 1961; its submarine component - which presently includes a strategic submarine force; and its amphibious component - which principally oversees humanitarian operations.[4] Nevertheless, the IN still lacks certain capability-specific assets - such as mine countermeasures vessels, or are quantitatively inadequate - such as attack submarines.[5]

The IN's fleet inventory is divided amongst its three regional formations:
