Military unit

Objectively, the IN's naval assets have previously been focused on countering its traditional adversary: the Pakistan Navy (PN), however, Indian strategic focus has shifted from naval defence to regional security of the Indian Ocean Region, as a counter to the foothold of the People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN).

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

Western Naval Command (WNC): Headquartered in Mumbai, it is comprised of the Western Fleet - responsible for naval operations in the Arabian Sea, which flanks India's western coastline. Given its geographical location, it is central to any conflict involving Pakistan.
Eastern Naval Command (ENC): Headquartered in Visakhapatnam, it is comprised of the Eastern Fleet - responsible for naval operations in the Bay of Bengal, which flanks India's eastern coastline. In addition, it serves as the home command of India strategic submarine fleet - which oversees the country's nuclear second-strike deterrence.
Southern Naval Command (SNC): Headquartered in Kochi, it is the IN's largest command - responsible for service's training requirements.

Originally, 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 was 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. As of January 2025, the IN has approximately 135+ warships, and is calculated to comprise an estimated 155-160 ships by 2030.
