Indian Navy Submarine Rescue: The Indian Navy has taken its submarine rescue capability to a new level. For the first time, the Deep Submergence Rescue Vehicle (DSRV), named 'Tiger X', was successfully used in the international multinational exercise 'XPR-25', held in Singapore. The exercise was a significant event involving the navies of over 40 countries, in which India extended its strength beyond the Indian Ocean and into the South China Sea, effectively demonstrating its strength.

Exercise 'XPR-25' was conducted from September 15 to 25 in two phases: coastal and maritime. India's submarine rescue unit, INS Nistar, also participated actively in the maritime phase for the first time. During the exercise, the navies of India, Japan, Singapore, and South Korea jointly completed complex submarine rescue missions.


'Tiger X' wins accolades

On September 23, Tiger X dived for the first time outside the Indian Ocean and successfully established connections with the South Korean submarine S-082 and the Singaporean submarine RSS Invincible. This demonstrates the capability and reliability of India's submarine rescue technology.


The new face of submarine rescue

INS Nistar, commissioned into the Navy on July 18, 2025, is a 118-meter-long warship weighing over 10,000 tons, specially designed to serve as the mothership of the DSRV. The ship can stay at sea for up to 60 days and is equipped with state-of-the-art rescue equipment, a diving bell, a compression chamber, and a helicopter landing deck.


India's leap in technology

India purchased two DSRVs from the UK-based JFD Global in 2016, which include the TUP (Transfer Under Pressure) system. This technology allows submarine crews trapped in pressurized environments to be safely evacuated, potentially saving their lives from serious danger.

Yamuna’s Perennial Toxic Saga: A Critical Issue For Delhi

Image
Yamuna's plight raises questions about accountability and the effectiveness of governmental commitments to environmental supervision As the festive season approaches, the Yamuna river remains a focal point in the national capital, marred by extreme pollution despite repeated electoral promises. The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), led by former Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, has continually vowed to clean this river. Yet, just weeks before the annual Chhath Puja, toxic foam covers its surface, highlighting the grim reality of the situation. Notably, soon after coming to power in 2015, Kejriwal had promised to clean the river and said, “We will revive Yamuna within five years.” Then again in 2021, Kejriwal reiterated the promise to rejuvenate the Yamuna and said that he will take a dip in the river in February 2025. Then in 2020, Delhi’s then water minister Satyendra Jain claimed that the Delhi government was committed to revive the river within next three-four years. In November 2021, K...
