India is preparing to launch its first human-operated underwater submersible as part of the Deep Ocean Mission. The submersible is initially designed to reach depths of up to 500 meters, with plans to extend its capability to 6,000 meters by the following year. This mission is significant for India’s advancement in marine exploration, resource identification, and the development of marine and space technologies. It aligns with the country’s broader goals of enhancing scientific knowledge, exploring new marine biodiversity, and contributing to sustainable development through its blue economy.
