The Naval Armament Organisation (NAO) has successfully concluded its annual 24th Officers-in-Charge (OiC) Conference and 7th IT, Project and Infrastructure Meeting (IPIM) at Institute of Technology Management (ITM), DRDO, Mussoorie on February 12-13, 2026 under the chairmanship of Divakar Jayant, INAS, Director General of Naval Armament. Senior INAS officers serving as Chief General Managers/General Managers of Naval Armament Depots attended both the high-level interactions focused on administrative efficiencies, personnel management, engineering technologies within the organisation, and progress of ongoing IT initiatives and infrastructure projects.

The events served as a pivotal platform for the top leadership of the Naval Armament Organisation to synchronise strategic objectives and review the readiness of HR and critical infrastructure across the field units to support the Indian Navy’s growing operational footprint.

During his address, the Director General commended the depots for their unwavering support to the fleet and emphasised the need for Atmanirbharta (self-reliance) in armament maintenance and infrastructure development. He urged the officers to adopt sustainable and innovative practices to meet the evolving security challenges in the maritime domain.

The two-day event concluded with a roadmap for the digital transformation of the NAO by leveraging advancements in information technology, ensuring that the organisation remains future-ready and technologically advanced to support the maritime interests of the nation.
