The programme aims to deepen scientific understanding of marine ecosystems
India aims to launch its first human-operated underwater submersible this year, as announced by Jitendra Singh, Minister of State for Science and Technology, during the second meeting of the Mission Steering Committee on the "Deep Ocean Mission" in New Delhi. This is reported by IANS, a partner of TV BRICS.
The submersible will initially operate at depths of up to 500 metres, with an ambitious goal to reach depths of 6,000 metres by 2026. This project will place India among a group of six nations with the capability to undertake such advanced underwater exploration.
Jitendra Singh highlighted the mission’s potential to unlock significant marine resources, including critical minerals, rare metals, and uncharted biodiversity. “Through this mission, we are not just exploring the depths of our oceans but also building a robust blue economy that will drive India’s future,” he stated.
The programme also aims to deepen scientific understanding of marine ecosystems, contributing to sustainable fisheries and biodiversity conservation, as reported by the source.
