The Indian Navy and TVS Motor Company have flagged off the ‘Fleet to Forts’ motorcycle expedition from Kohli Stadium in Navynagar, Mumbai, to engage local communities and raise awareness of naval careers among youth.

The 14-day expedition covers more than 1,600 km across Maharashtra and visits 10 forts associated with Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, including sites inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List under the Maratha Military Landscapes of India nomination.

A 25-member contingent led by Captain Shekhar Deshpande, comprising officers, sailors, women personnel and Agniveers, will ride TVS Ronin motorcycles through rural routes and towns. The campaign focuses on promoting recruitment avenues, including the Agnipath Scheme for short-term service below officer rank.

Rahul Vilas Gokhale, Vice Admiral and Chief of Staff, Western Naval Command, said, “Indian Navy continues to be a dominant force in the high seas and its spirit of adventure, exploration and outreach is aptly reflected in this “Fleet to Forts” Motorcycle Expedition. The Forts stand as enduring reminders of vision, courage, organisation, resilience and the ability to build a formidable military capability in very challenging circumstances and Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj remains a the continuous source of inspiration for Indian Navy for building indigenous Maritime Capability. Carry a message to Young India to serve the nation with pride and use the opportunity to experience the culture, communities, landscapes and heritage that makes Maharashtra so remarkable.”

Vimal Sumbly, Head of Business – Premium, TVS Motor Company, said, “We are extremely proud and honoured to continue our association with the Indian Navy through the ‘Fleet to Forts’ Motorcycle Expedition. The journey brings alive stories of valour, resilience and ingenuity, taking these inspiring stories to young Indians through historic forts and coastal landscapes that have shaped our maritime heritage. This spirit resonates deeply with the TVS Ronin, which encourages riders to chart their own path, embrace the unexpected and turn every journey into a story of their own. Through an #Unscripted lifestyle rooted in individuality and exploration, Ronin inspires riders to experience the road differently. We hope this expedition inspires a new generation to carry forward the courage, creativity and sense of purpose that define our shared journey. We wish the entire contingent a safe and memorable ride.”

The outreach initiative combines historical heritage engagement with recruitment awareness as the contingent travels across coastal and interior districts of Maharashtra.
