INS Imphal, commissioned in December 2023, participated in the 57th Mauritius National Day celebrations on March 12, 2025. This marked the ship's maiden port call in Mauritius, where it contributed a marching contingent, a naval band, and a helicopter for the flypast. INS Imphal is the third ship of the four Project 15B (Visakhapatnam-class) indigenous destroyers, designed to enhance India's naval capabilities. Participation in the National Day celebrations highlights the strengthening of ties between India and Mauritius.
