Historically, the troops brought the color of their king into battle and these flags function as a rally point, well maintained in battle.

When India obtained independence, the colors of the King 33 were given during the British government laid at the Indian Military Academy and since then the color was awarded by the President.
Looking to strengthen Indian credentials in maritime security, the Navy knows that interoperability with friendly countries and increasing the awareness of the maritime domain is the key.
In the future, the Navy will emphasize the standardization of aircraft, weapons and sensors.
India has operated a sophisticated aircraft such as P8I and MH60R which allows smooth interoperability with the US Navy and some navies that operate the same aircraft.

It is good to have a smaller aircraft, because it will facilitate effective inventory training and management.
Interoperability also increases,” Philipose said.

We focus on standardization because it will produce enormous cost savings.
Also, our focus is on independence and self-indigenization,” he said.
Regardless of the challenge in front, the honor of bringing the president’s color will function as a proper recognition for the services provided and the motivation to soar to a greater height.
