DRDO, Indian Navy conduct combat firing of Multi-Influence Ground Mine amid escalation of tension with Pakistan

May 6, 2025 ..

Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and Indian Navy have successfully undertaken combat firing (with reduced explosive) of the indigenously designed and developed Multi-Influence Ground Mine (MIGM).


The system is an advanced underwater naval mine developed by the Naval Science & Technological Laboratory, Visakhapatnam, in collaboration with other DRDO laboratories - High Energy Materials Research Laboratory, Pune and Terminal Ballistics Research Laboratory, Chandigarh.

MIGM is designed to enhance the Indian Navy's capabilities against modern stealth ships and submarines.

Bharat Dynamics Limited, Visakhapatnam and Apollo Microsystems Limited, Hyderabad are the production partners for the system.

Complimenting DRDO, Indian Navy and the Industry, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh stated that the system will further enhance undersea warfare capabilities of the Indian Navy.

"Secretary, Department of Defence R&D and Chairman DRDO Dr Samir V Kamat said, with this validation trial, the system is now ready for induction into the Indian Navy," read a government statement.

India successfully conducted the test amid heightening tension between India and Pakistan over the recent terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir which left 26 people, mostly non-Muslim tourists, dead.

Mega Drill

Meanwhile, a total of 259 locations across India, including those located in border states like Rajasthan and West Bengal, will participate in a mega security drill on Wednesday, amid escalating tension between nuclear-armed neighbours India and Pakistan following the Pahalgam attack on April 22.

This exercise is going to be the first of its kind since 1971. It was a landmark year since India and Pakistan went to war and Bangladesh was formed.

"The conduct of the exercise is planned up to the village level. This exercise aims to assess and enhance the readiness of Civil Defence mechanisms across all States and Union Territories," read the notification issued by the Ministry of Home Affairs to states, as quoted by NDTV.
