India's maritime policy is experiencing a robust transformation that now emphasises technological innovations, smart diplomacy, and regional leadership. India is expanding its reach from coastal defence to the entire Indo-Pacific region through contemporary definitions of maritime power grounded on Artificial Intelligence and multilateralism.

India's maritime policy reflects its maritime aspirations, with doctrines like SAGAR and the Indo-Pacific Oceans Initiative (IPOI) demonstrating India as a net security provider and development partner.
In the 21st century, AI technologies in maritime domain awareness, surveillance, autonomous systems and disaster management are enhancing the scope of operations in the seas.
Strategic collaborations through multilateral partnerships such as QUAD, ASEAN, and IORA and with littoral African states, is resulting in the adoption of AI capabilities toward port management, reef focus, and vessel interactivity.
Alternatively, Indian start-ups and public-private partnerships are ushering in a technological transformation characterised by innovations such as autonomous underwater vehicles, AI-based threat detection products like TRIDENT, iDEX, SPRINT, and the Maritime Development Fund.
These initiatives have been critical enablers of India's transition into a self-sufficient maritime technology. Despite all these opportunities, critical challenges still remain due to data deficits, vulnerabilities arising from cybersecurity, and a lack of skilled workforce, limiting the potential benefits from AI.
Nevertheless, by merging technology with diplomacy and innovation, India is positioning itself not just as a maritime power but as a forward-looking AI-driven leader in the Indo-Pacific.
