Navy chief inaugurates CO2-based air conditioning plant at INS Shivaji in Pune

Pune (Maharashtra): Indian Navy Chief Admiral R Hari Kumar inaugurated a transcritical CO2 air conditioning plant at INS Shivaji in Pune's Lonavala in Maharashtra on Wednesday.

Speaking on the plant's inauguration, the Navy chief said, "Happy to be here today at the inauguration of this transcritical CO2 airconditioning plant. This compressor has been developed indigenously."

"This is a major step towards meeting the government's commitment to reduce global warming and emission of gases harmful to the environment," he added.

On the third aircraft carrier, Admiral Kumar said, "It is being processed through MoD. It has completed the Defence Procurement Board (DPB) clearance, but now it has to fill up the Defence Security Corps (DSC) so there are some staff work requirements. So it's under process."

Further, the Navy chief asserted that the aircraft carrier, INS Vikrant will go for a full operation clearance by the end of this year.
