The exercise, which ended in early March, has helped to reaffirm many of the Navy's concepts of operations
TROPEX 25 witnessed the participation of about 65–70 Indian Naval ships, 9–10 submarines, and more than 80 aircraft of various types. The exercise achieved a very high level of operational synergy in the planning and execution of theatre-level scenarios with the other services
TROPEX 25 witnessed extensive participation by the units of the Indian Army, Indian Air Force and Indian Coast Guard consisting of Sukhoi-30, Jaguar, C-130, Flight Refueler, and AWACS aircraft, over 600 Infantry troops, and more than 10 ICG ships
The Navy's commitment to continue being a conflict-ready, credible, cohesive, and future-ready force, TROPEX 25, was the triumphant conclusion of a rigorous operational campaign intended to evaluate the Indian Navy's operational readiness and material readiness for conflict.
TROPEX 25 offered a valuable assessment of the Navy's ability to defend national maritime security interests by responding to a variety of challenges in a coordinated and integrated manner
