India To Introduce Its First Indigenous Aircraft Carrier In 2022

While on a visit to the wharf in Ernakulam, Defense Minister Rajnath Singh said the first indigenous aircraft carrier in India will be commissioned in 2022. Further, this aircraft carrier will make the country's defence "formidable". It will be "a befitting tribute to 75 years of India’s independence," said Singh. He visited the IAC under construction at the Ernakulam wharf on June 25, and described it as a step towards Atmanirbhar Bharat.
