Indian army chief claims they are preparing for ‘Operation Sindoor 2.0’

PUNE: After not having enough thrashing at the hands of Pakistan military which shot down its eight warplanes and destroyed many bases during 2025 conflict, Indian Chief of Army Staff General Upendra Dwivedi on Saturday said that India is preparing for Operation Sindoor 2.0.

General Dwivedi said Operation Sindoor is still under way, noting that there is currently a temporary cessation of hostilities while the armed forces remain operationally alert and prepared for any future escalation, reported Indian media.

Reviewing the passing-out parade of the 150th course at NDA, Khadakwasla, General Dwivedi said that the Indian forces are actively preparing for potential future contingencies, including what he referred to as “Operation Sindoor 2.0”, should the situation demand it. He emphasised that the focus at present is on strengthening tri-service synergy, improving combat readiness, and adapting to the demands of future warfare.

“The Army, Navy, and Air Force are continuously strengthening coordination and equipping themselves for evolving security challenges and future battle scenarios. The tri-services are working in greater synergy to meet modern warfare requirements,” the Indian Army chief elaborated. He highlighted the increasingly transparent nature of modern battlefields, stating that surveillance and intelligence capabilities now make most movements visible to adversaries in real time.
