4. It could work at a profundity somewhere in the range of 1000 and 5500 meters. 

5. The speciality innovation works with completing profound sea investigation of non-living assets, for example, polymetallic manganese knobs, gas hydrates, hydro-warm sulfides and cobalt outside layers. 

6. As indicated by a NIOT official, Matsya 6000 will be prepared for capability preliminaries by December 2024. The authority likewise said that the shallow water (500 meters) stage is relied upon to occur before the finish of 2022 or 2023 and will be trailed by more profound drives. 

7. NIOT fostered a ‘workforce circle’ made of gentle steel with neighbourhood industry for a functional ability of 500 meters and tried for its use according to the International Classification and Certification Agency for man-appraised activity during this month ocean preliminary utilizing Ocean Research Vessel Sagar Nidhi in the Bay of Bengal. 

8. The remote ocean vehicle will be moved at profound ocean bottom with a six-degree opportunity utilizing a battery-fueled drive framework for 4 hours at 6000-meter profundity, as per the delivery. 

“Essentially, this vehicle is a stage to convey any gadgets, sensors and so on to remote ocean for doing tests/perceptions within sight of a person,” the authority said. 

9. This program will expand India’s capacity with framework offices, for example, a high thickness welding office and a profound sea test system. 

10. The public authority has supported the Deep Ocean Mission to be executed by the Union service of studies of the planet at an absolute spending plan of ₹4,077 crores for quite some time.
