Indian Navy's Operation Sindoor Confined Pakistan Navy to Ports
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh stated that during Operation Sindoor, the Indian Navy successfully confined the entire Pakistan Navy to its ports. Launched on May 7, 2025, the operation aimed to retaliate against the Pahalgam terror attack, with Indian forces conducting precision strikes on terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir. The military conflict concluded on May 10, 2025. Singh made these remarks at the inauguration of the Nausena Shaurya Vatika, a naval museum in Lucknow, which showcases the Indian Navy's legacy and capabilities. The museum features the decommissioned warship INS Gomati and aims to educate visitors on maritime security. Singh highlighted India's increased defence exports, which have risen from less than ₹1,000 crore before 2014 to nearly ₹40,000 crore today.
