The Indian Navy has announced that Navy Day 2025 will be celebrated in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, with festivities centred on the Arabian Sea, a strategic maritime zone critical to India’s security. The choice of venue underscores the Navy’s operational focus in the region and aligns with post-Operation Sindoor initiatives, which showcased its readiness to launch swift and effective operations in the Arabian Sea.
The location was finalised after considerable deliberation, in line with the government’s initiative to celebrate significant national events across different regions, according to Defence Ministry sources. Last year, the celebrations were held off the coast of Puri in the Bay of Bengal.
