Rear Admiral Rupak Barua

Rear Admiral Rupak Barua has officially taken over as the Director General of Naval Armament Inspection (DGNAI) on July 1, 2024. He succeeds Rear Admiral Brijesh Vashishta, who retired after a distinguished 34-year career with the Indian Navy. The Directorate General of Naval Armament Inspection is a critical component of the Indian Navy, overseeing the indigenization and inspection of naval armament stores.

Established in the late 1980s, DGNAI plays a pivotal role in ensuring the quality and reliability of the Navyโ€™s armaments. In 2017, the directorate underwent a significant reorganization into two specific directorates: the Directorate of Armament Production and Indigenisation (DAPI) and the Directorate of Naval Armament Inspection (DNAI). DAPI now handles the crucial task of indigenizing naval armament stores, working closely with Indigenisation Cells across various Controllerates of Naval Armament Inspection (CNAI) and NAI Cells at DRDO laboratories.

DAPIโ€™s efforts are focused on formulating quality requirements, identifying indigenous sources, and monitoring the progress of indigenization projects. These projects are advanced through various routes, including revenue schemes, Make-II/III schemes, the Technology Development Fund (TDF) scheme, and DRDO projects, aiming to enhance self-reliance in naval armament production.

The position of the head of DNAI was re-designated as the Director General of Naval Armament Inspection in 1997 to reflect the expanded responsibilities and importance of this role. Rear Admiral Baruaโ€™s appointment comes at a time when the Indian Navy is increasingly focusing on indigenization to bolster its operational capabilities and reduce dependence on foreign sources.

Rear Admiral Barua brings a wealth of experience and expertise to his new role, and his leadership is expected to further advance the Navyโ€™s objectives of enhancing indigenization and maintaining the highest standards of armament quality and safety.
