Indian Navy to get new flag, break away from British-rule past; ensign reveal at INS Vikrant induction

In a move signifying a break from India's colonial past, the Indian Navy is set to get a new ensign, or military flag.

The new ensign will be revealed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on 2 September 2022. On the same day, India's first indigenously-built aircraft carrier INS Vikrant will be commissioned into the Navy.

The Indian Navy's current ensign consists of a white flag with horizontal and vertical red stripes, with the Emblem of India emblazoned at the intersection of the two stripes. The tricolour is placed in the canton.

The horizontal and vertical red stripes stand for the Cross of Saint George, and thus, are a sign of British rule. In colonial times, the naval force was called the Royal Indian Navy. On 26 January 1950, it was rechristened to Indian Navy.
