The INS Vikrant Scale Model Exhibition was inaugurated today at the Prime Minister's Museum and Library (PMML), drawing attention to India's growing maritime capabilities. This exhibition celebrates the engineering marvel of INS Vikrant, the country's first indigenous aircraft carrier, showcasing detailed scale models that offer insights into its design and construction. The event aims to enhance public understanding of the strategic importance of naval power in India's defense architecture.
This exhibition comes at a time when India's economic and geopolitical influence is on the rise. According to the International Monetary Fund's World Economic Outlook Report of April 2025, India has surpassed Japan, with a GDP of USD 4.18 trillion, becoming the world's fourth-largest economy. This remarkable growth underscores India's expanding role on the global stage, bolstering its capacity to invest in advanced defense technologies, including naval assets like the INS Vikrant.
The PMML's latest initiative not only highlights India's prowess in indigenous shipbuilding but also reflects a broader narrative of economic and strategic ascent. Visitors to the exhibition can explore interactive displays and engage with experts to understand the technological advancements and strategic imperatives driving India's naval ambitions. This event is a testament to the nation's commitment to safeguarding its maritime interests while contributing to regional stability.
