Swavlamban 2025 – Curtain Raiser Press Conference
Curtain Raiser Press Conference for the fourth edition of Indian Navy's Naval Innovation and Indigenisation Organisation (NIIO) Seminar - Swavlamban 2025, was conducted in New Delhi on November 20, 2025, under the chairmanship of Vice Admiral Sanjay Vatsayan, Vice Chief of the Naval Staff.
While highlighting key features of Swavlamban 2025, scheduled from November 25 to 26, 2025 at the Manekshaw Centre, Delhi, VCNS remarked that the event will highlight the Indian Navy's innovation and indigenisation efforts, and the contributions of the Indian industry, with a focus on technological advances that could significantly enhance the nation's defence capabilities. He shared that Swavlamban 2025 will focus more on emerging and disruptive technologies to keep pace with the country's changing security needs.
VCNS outlined the Navy's steady strides towards Atmanirbharta in defence technologies, aligned with the Swavlamban 2025 theme, 'Strength and Power through Innovation and Indigenisation' which highlights the Navy's focus on collaborative and cutting-edge solutions for operational challenges.
This year's seminar will include dedicated exhibit zones highlighting products that have emerged as success stories, as well as those realised through the 'ideation to induction' cycle. The seminar will also host in-depth brainstorming sessions on policy frameworks and procedures to accelerate adoption of indigenous technologies. Expert-led panels will provide insights into emerging technologies, disruptive trends, and their relevance to the maritime domain. In addition, a dedicated interactive session with venture capitalists would explore avenues for funding, scaling, and nurturing innovative ideas.
This year's edition will include a wide range of activities such as launch of the 'Innovathon', release of the Compendium of Technology Challenges and Problem Statements, and unveiling of the Swavlamban 4.0 document and the Armament Indigenisation Compendium.
The event aims to bring together innovators, industry partners, academia, MSMEs and Start-ups, enabling them to collaborate, deliberate, and contribute towards shaping future naval capability development.
