Where is the Indian Navy's Commanders' Conference 2026/02 being held?
- A.Naval Base, Kochi
- B.Nausena Bhawan, New Delhi
- C.INS Kadamba, Karwar
- D.Naval Dockyard, Mumbai
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Nausena Bhawan, New Delhi. The second edition of the Indian Navy's Commanders' Conference for the year is being held there over three days, from 29 September to 1 October 2026. The conference is the apex level forum of the service and is convened twice a year, which is why it carries the designation 2026/02. Senior naval leadership, including operational and area commanders posted outside the capital, gather to review operational preparedness at the military-strategic level and to meet senior functionaries of the government through an established mechanism. Option A is wrong because Kochi hosts the Southern Naval Command but was not named as the venue. Option C is wrong because Karwar, home to INS Kadamba, was not mentioned in connection with this conference. Option D is wrong because the Naval Dockyard at Mumbai is a maintenance and support facility and does not host the apex commanders' forum described here.
