Indigenous Aircraft Carrier Vikrant, the largest and most complex warship India has ever designed and built, successfully accomplished its first sea voyage just days ago.
NDTV got access to the aircraft carrier after it was back from its 5-day sea voyage.
Built at a cost of around Rs 23,000 crore, Vikrant set sail last Wednesday for the crucial sea trials ahead of its planned induction into the Indian Navy by August next year.
The delivery of Vikrant is being targeted to coincide with celebrations to commemorate the 75th anniversary of India's independence.
Vikrant is 262 metres long, 62 metres wide and it has a height of 59 metres. Its construction began in 2009.
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh called the Vikrant's first sea trials a "true testimony to our unwavering commitment to 'Atmanirbhar Bharat'
