The Commanders Conference 2026/02 (the second edition of 2026 Indian Navys biannual Conference) is scheduled over a period of three days from 29 Sep 2026 to 01 Oct 2026 at Nausena Bhawan, New Delhi.
As the Navys Apex Level forum, the Conference provides an avenue for senior Naval leadership, including outstation Operational and Area Commanders, to undertake a comprehensive review of Operational preparedness at the military-strategic level and engage with Senior Government functionaries through an institutionalised mechanism. The Conference will be pivotal in underscoring the Indian Navys contribution towards safeguarding Indias maritime interests, including Security of Energy amidst the ongoing conflicts in West Asia. The Navys resolute conduct of the ongoing Operation Urja Suraksha and its emergence as a credible maritime force further bolsters its stature as a Preferred Security Partner in the Indian Ocean Region and beyond, Defence Ministry said. On the Opening Day, Raksha Mantri will share his vision and guidance on national maritime perspectives and expectations from the Indian Navy. The Chief of the Defence Staff and the Chief of the Army Staff will also engage with Naval Commanders to foster tri-Services synergy and integration, the ministry said. On subsequent days, the Chief of the Naval Staff, along with the Commanders-in-Chief, will review key focus areas, namely Operations, Materiel, Logistics, HR, Training, induction of niche technologies such as AI, Big Data Analysis (BDA), Autonomous/Uncrewed Systems, and Cyber Operations, reinforcing the need to imbibe cutting-edge warfighting concepts and accelerating technology absorption. On a broader canvas, the Navys apex leadership will assess overall preparedness to optimise force levels and enhance combat readiness in consonance with three foundational pillars of JAI Jointness, Aatmanirbharta, Innovation, in pursuit of the GoIs vision of Aatmanirbharta and Viksit Bharat 2047.
