The Indian Navy launched the 9th Ammunition Cum Torpedo Cum Missile (ACTCM) Barge LSAM 23 at M/s Suryadipta Projects Pvt Ltd in Thane. This vessel is part of an 11-barge contract aimed at strengthening naval logistics and ammunition transport. The initiative aligns with the ‘Make in India’ and ‘Aatmanirbhar Bharat’ programs, promoting self-reliance in defence manufacturing. With eight barges already in service, these indigenously designed vessels play a crucial role in enhancing the operational capabilities of the Indian Navy by ensuring efficient and secure transportation of critical naval supplies.
