The Indian Navy achieved a significant milestone in undersea operations with the successful overseas deployment of its Deep Submergence Rescue Vehicle (DSRV) Tiger X during the multinational submarine rescue exercise XPR-25, hosted by the Singapore Navy.

For the first time, India’s submarine rescue capability was tested beyond the Indian Ocean Region.

The DSRV executed a complete rescue drill in the South China Sea, docking with allied submarines under simulated emergency conditions.

Held from September 15–25, XPR-25 saw the participation of over 40 countries. The exercise unfolded in two stages — a shore phase (September 15–20) and a sea phase (September 21–25).
