Garden Reach inks pact with Norway firm, India to build its first polar research vehicle
Kolkata-based Garden Reach Shipbuilders and Engineers Limited (GRSE), a Government of India undertaking, signed an MoU with Norwegian firm Kongsberg on Tuesday to co-design and build India's first-ever polar research vehicle (PRV) indigenously. The MoU was signed in Oslo in the presence of Union Minister of Ports, Shipping and Waterways Sarbananda Sonowal, who termed it 'a commitment to fostering scientific discovery, advancing India's capabilities in polar and ocean research, and contributing to global efforts to address pressing challenges like climate change.' 'Let this MoU signing be a beacon of hope and progress, signalling India's unwavering commitment to scientific advancement and sustainable development. Together, we are building not just a vessel but a legacy — a legacy of innovation, exploration and international cooperation that will inspire generations to come,' Sonowal said. A PRV is a ship which serves as a platform for research in the polar regions (areas surrounding the North and South Poles). It can also help scientists undertake research in the ocean realm. India currently operates three research base stations in the polar regions — Bharati and Maitri in Antarctica, and Himadri in the Arctic region — and had been planning to have its own PRV for a while now. In 2023, Union Minister Kiren Rijiju informed the Rajya Sabha that the country would have its first PRV within five years at an estimated cost of Rs. 2,600 crore. According to the Ministry, the MoU marks an important milestone for India's shipbuilding sector as it will receive design expertise for developing the PRV 'while taking into account the requirement of National Centre for Polar and Ocean Research, which will use it for research activities in the polar and southern ocean realms'. The PRV will be equipped with the latest scientific equipment, enabling researchers to explore the oceans' depths and study marine ecosystems, Sonowal said. It will be a testament to India's critical shipbuilding capabilities, boosting the Government's 'Make In India' initiative, he added. GRSE, which has built warships, survey and research vessels, will build the PRV in its yard in Kolkata. Meanwhile, Sonowal, who is on a five-day official visit to Norway and Denmark, also represented India in a ministerial meeting on the role of shipping in shaping the future. The meeting emphasised the need for the industry to seek out a stable, long-term, regulatory environment supporting inclusive and decarbonised ocean-based trade. Ministers from Brazil, Japan, UN, US, China and Norway also attended the meet. Underlining PM Narendra Modi's vision of SAGAR — Security and Growth for All in the Region — Sonowal said it 'leverages India's vast coastline, strategic location, and maritime heritage to drive economic prosperity, enhance regional security, and ensure sustainable development for all stakeholders'. 'This entails economic cooperation, capacity building, disaster management, information sharing and environmental stewardship. Upgrading from the SAGAR initiative, India's PM Narendra Modi ji announced MAHASAGAR — which is Mutual and Holistic Advancement for Security Across the Regions, signalling further consolidation,' he added. Sonowal also held a roundtable meeting with Norwegian shipowners, and invited investment in India's maritime sector.

BSF taps DRDO for tech to monitor Bangla border stretch in Sundarbans
Amid the Centre's crackdown on illegal immigration and cross-border terror networks, the Border Security Force (BSF) has sought the help of the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) for deployment of advanced surveillance systems — including drones, radars and satellites — along a critical 113-km stretch of the Sundarbans on the India-Bangladesh border. The request was made during a high-level coastal security review meeting chaired by the Secretary (Border Management) at the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) in North Block in the second week of May, shortly after Operation Sindoor. The focused move to identify and push back illegal Bangladeshi immigrants within 30 days of detention began after the Pahalgam attacks in April, and has gained momentum since Operation Sindoor. As part of this crackdown, the BSF has stepped up vigilance along the border and is now looking to rely more heavily on high-end surveillance technologies — including drones, radars, satellite imagery and CCTVs — to plug gaps in sensitive areas, especially the Sundarbans, which has long been a known route for illegal crossings. 'The BSF has proposed to bring nearly 113 kms under tech surveillance,' said an MHA official. 'They've already conducted a feasibility study, in consultation with ISRO and DRDO, and have asked DRDO to carry out field visits to identify the most effective solutions. However, DRDO is expected to take up the Sundarbans site only after it completes its current work on a similar project in Gujarat's creek areas.' The BSF currently monitors about 123 kms of the Sunderbans sector, much of it difficult terrain dotted with creeks and dense mangrove forests. The demand for a technology-first approach has grown following intelligence inputs that terror outfits are exploring India's riverine and maritime borders — especially through the Sundarbans — to infiltrate. The area, spread across remote islands and crisscrossed by tidal waterways, poses unique challenges for conventional patrolling. At present, the BSF relies on eight floating Border Outposts (BOPs) and 96 other patrol vessels to maintain vigilance. It has also approached the West Bengal government for land to construct seven observation towers and to allow more forest post co-locations — a model where BSF personnel share infrastructure with forest officials. Three such co-located posts already exist. However, the MHA official said progress has been uneven. 'Despite repeated surveys, officials from the Forest and State Revenue departments did not participate, which has stalled the process,' the official said. At the meeting last month, which was also attended by BSF Director General Daljit Singh Chaudhary, West Bengal government representatives are learnt to have said that they had surveyed seven sites and agreed to provide land at two. 'The co-location of three more BSF posts is still awaiting clearance from the Forest Department. Both sides were directed to explore alternate sites if needed and to jointly assess feasibility at each location,' the official said. The Sundarbans push comes amid growing concerns within the security establishment that a porous eastern frontier — unless sealed with urgency — could undermine efforts to curb both illegal immigration and terror infiltration. As part of its wider border strategy, the Centre has already deployed additional forces, stepped up deportation efforts, and expanded intelligence coordination across agencies.
