The Matsya-6000 submersible, developed under India’s Deep Ocean Mission by the National Institute of Ocean Technology (NIOT), successfully passed its wet tests at Kattupalli Port. This submersible is a significant part of India’s Samudrayan Project, which aims to advance deep-sea exploration. It features state-of-the-art systems such as thrusters, ballast, navigation sensors, and life-support systems, making it crucial for India’s shallow-water and deep-sea exploration goals. The success of these tests brings India closer to conducting 500-meter shallow-water trials by 2025.
