The exercise comprised two phases: Harbour and Sea. The Harbour Phase featured key leadersโ interactions, cross-deck visits, Subject Matter Expert Exchanges, operational synchronisation activities, sports fixtures and cultural exchanges. These engagements facilitated professional interaction and the exchange of views and operational practices between personnel of the two navies.
The subsequent Sea Phase involved coordinated manoeuvring, integrated communications, helicopter operations and medical evacuation drills. These activities enabled participating units to practise coordinated procedures at sea, enhance communication and strengthen operational coordination and interoperability.

The successful conclusion of Exercise INDRA 2026 reaffirmed the enduring defence and maritime partnership between India and Russia. The exercise underscored the importance of sustained naval engagement, professional cooperation and interoperability in furthering mutual understanding and contributing to maritime security. It also reflected the shared commitment of the two navies to a secure, stable and peaceful maritime environment.______________________________________________________________ VM/SPS 206/26 (Release ID: 2327353)Visitor Counter : 579
