The Indian Navy inducted its first DSRV in November 2018 and second in 2019. They were acquired from James Fisher Defence in the United Kingdom

It can rescue stranded mariners from depths of up to 650 meters (and a detection range of 1 kilometre) and can run for about 3 hours. It also has an advanced Side-Scan SONAR, Multifunctional Robotic Arms and advanced Cameras. As per an official, it takes a minimum of 96 hours of prep time for the rescue operations to begin. One each is deployed on either coast of India homeported at Visakhapatnam ( headquarters of Eastern Naval Command ) and Mumbai ( headquarters of Western Naval Command ). They are Air-Transportable and launched from ships

In 2021, the Navy mobilised one of its DSRVs to assist The Indonesian Navy in search and rescue efforts for the Indonesian Submarine KRI Nanggala which was reported missing.

These DSRVs will be deployed from the Nistar-class diving support vessels under construction. These will aid the submarine operations of the Indian Navy.
