EyeROV underwater robotics development in India

Overview

The global market for Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) and Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) for offshore inspection, repair, and maintenance is projected to grow significantly, reaching an estimated USD 13.50 billion by 2034.

In India, the marine robotics startup EyeROV is expanding its presence in both commercial and defense sectors. The company utilizes its TROUT vehicle for deep-water inspections, maritime research, and examining subsea infrastructure such as pipelines and communication cables. Having completed over 150 projects for various commercial clients, the company aims to scale its technology globally.

EyeROV has transitioned into the defense sector through the iDEX (Innovations for Defence Excellence) initiative. The company recently delivered two TROUT military-grade ROV systems to the Indian Navy, marking the first time such systems have been manufactured in India. This delivery is part of a larger order for five systems intended for mission-critical operations including surveillance, reconnaissance, and search and recovery.
