A Unified National-International Maritime Effort

The event will witness active participation from key central ministries, coastal state governments, major ports, oil handling agencies, and various maritime organizations. More than 100 national delegates and over 40 foreign observers from 32 countries are expected to attend, cementing NATPOLREX’s status as a critical platform for international cooperation in marine disaster preparedness.

The biennial exercise, organized under the NOSDCP framework, aims to rigorously assess and enhance India’s capabilities in combating oil spills and other forms of maritime pollution.

Cutting-Edge Pollution Response Assets on Display

To showcase India’s operational strength, the Indian Coast Guard will deploy specialized ships and aircraft equipped with advanced pollution control systems. The multi-tiered response strategy will be demonstrated through a series of live drills, simulating real-world marine spill scenarios to evaluate inter-agency coordination and emergency readiness.

The operational demonstrations will not only highlight the ICG’s maritime expertise but also reinforce the importance of synchronized efforts across agencies during environmental crises.

Sustainable Development and Ecological Commitment

NATPOLREX-X 2025 is more than a drill—it is a reaffirmation of India’s commitment to marine environmental protection, in alignment with its broader vision for sustainable development. The exercise is set to:

  • Strengthen domestic and global partnerships
  • Promote best practices in oil spill response
  • Encourage technological innovation in marine pollution control
  • Benchmark India’s maritime environmental standards against global protocols

Speaking ahead of the exercise, Indian Coast Guard officials emphasized that the initiative will help fine-tune India’s national response mechanism, while also fostering knowledge exchange with international counterparts.
