Iac Vikrant

Indigenous Aircraft Carrier 'Vikrant', the largest and most complex warship India has ever designed and built, successfully accomplished its first sea voyage just days ago.

India's first indigenous aircraft carrier (IAC) Vikrant on Sunday successfully completed a five-day maiden sea voyage as the performance of the key systems of the 40,000-tonne warship was found to be satisfactory, officials said.

Indigenous aircraft carrier Vikrant - the largest and most complex warship India has ever built - set off on its maiden sea trials on Wednesday, 50 years after its namesake's key role in the 1971 war, the Indian Navy said in a tweet.

The delay on part of Russia in supplying aviation items has impeded the commissioning of India's only Indigenous Aircraft Carrier, INS Vikrant, and the warship is expected to be commissioned by October 2020, a senior Navy official said today.

The navy has ruled out deploying indigenously built light combat aircraft Tejas on its aircraft carriers, saying it is "not being able to meet the requirements".

The Defence Ministry will soon move the Union Cabinet for an additional Rs 2000 crore to meet the cost overrun for completing the first phase of Indigenous Aircraft Carrier (IAC) being constructed at the Cochin Shipyard - on India's western seaboard.
