Planet Scuba India has established iNDiC as India’s first homegrown diving equipment brand, positioning the venture to serve both domestic defence requirements and global commercial markets. The launch represents a significant step toward reducing India’s dependence on imported underwater technology and equipment.

iNDiC will develop and manufacture a comprehensive range of diving systems and related equipment, including advanced underwater apparatus, specialised electronics, and marine mobility platforms designed for professional and defence applications. The brand aims to combine engineering expertise with cost-competitive manufacturing to compete in international markets while meeting stringent defence procurement standards.

The venture comes at a time when India is emphasising self-reliance in defence production and critical technology sectors. By developing indigenous diving capabilities, iNDiC is expected to support naval operations, undersea research, and commercial diving enterprises across the region.

Planet Scuba India’s move to create a dedicated indigenous brand underscores growing industry confidence in India’s capacity to manufacture sophisticated underwater equipment. The company has positioned iNDiC to address both specialised defence needs and emerging opportunities in global maritime commerce and exploration sectors.
