Explanation

India currently maintains two permanent and operational research stations in Antarctica: Maitri and Bharati.

  • Dakshin Gangotri: Established in 1983, it was India's first station. It was decommissioned in 1990 after being submerged in ice and now serves only as a supply base and transit camp.
  • Maitri: Commissioned in 1989, it is located in the ice-free Schirmacher Oasis. It has been operational for over three decades, supporting year-round scientific research.
  • Bharati: Commissioned in 2012 at Larsemann Hills, it is India's third and most advanced station, designed for research in oceanography and geological sciences.

The Indian Antarctic Program is managed by the National Centre for Polar and Ocean Research (NCPOR), Goa, under the Ministry of Earth Sciences. There is no station named 'Arya' in the Indian Antarctic Program.
