<strong>The Indigenous Aircraft Carrier Vikrant – a shining example in India&#39;s quest for &#39;AatmaNirbhar Bharat&#39; and &#39;Make in India Initiative&#39; – successfully completed its fourth phase of sea trials on Sunday.</strong></p>

Integrated trials of a majority of equipment and systems onboard including some of the Aviation Facilities Complex equipment were undertaken. The ship&#39;s delivery is being targeted by the end of this month, followed by the commissioning of the ship in August to commemorate the ongoing &#39;Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav&#39;.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

The IAC, having more than 76 per cent of indigenous content, has led to growth in indigenous design and construction capabilities, besides the development of a large number of ancillary industries, with employment opportunities for over 2000 CSL personnel and about 12000 employees in ancillary industries.</p>
