The exercise, named Ex Trishul, will involve the Indian Army, Navy, and Air Force, and aims to demonstrate India’s growing joint operational capabilities, self-reliance (Atmanirbharta), and innovation—key pillars of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s JAI vision for the armed forces.
“Troops from Southern Command will actively participate to validate joint operations across diverse and challenging terrains, including offensive manoeuvres in the creek and desert sectors, amphibious operations off the Saurashtra coast, and joint multi-domain operational exercises encompassing Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR), Electronic Warfare (EW), and Cyber capabilities,” the Ministry of Defence said in a statement.
The exercise will also showcase the operational use of indigenous systems and refine tactics, techniques, and procedures to address emerging threats and the evolving nature of modern warfare.

Operation Sindoor, launched on May 7 in retaliation for the Pahalgam terror attack in April, involved precise airstrikes against terror infrastructure in Pakistan. The operation neutralised over 100 terrorists and triggered a four-day military standoff, the deadliest between the two countries in decades.
Addressing the Naval Commanders’ Conference in New Delhi, Singh praised the Indian Navy for creating a deterrent posture that kept Pakistan’s forces confined to harbors and coastal areas, demonstrating operational readiness and professional capability. He also highlighted the government’s focus on Atmanirbharta, indigenous innovation, and advanced technologies in defence.
This exercise marks India’s latest demonstration of military readiness and joint operational capability in a region of heightened strategic tension.
