Indian Army chief General Upendra Dwivedi says the force is preparing for “Operation Sindoor 2.0.” Multiple reports describe the effort as a continuation of the posture linked to last year’s retaliatory response to terrorism, while also noting that current operations are in a temporary halt. Dwivedi says India’s military stance in response to Pakistan-related actions remains in place.
The reports also emphasize tri-services coordination for future warfare. The Army chief frames the preparation as improving synergy among the Indian Army, Navy and Air Force, and enhancing readiness for a next phase rather than signaling immediate large-scale operations. One outlet highlights the focus on cautious deployment and protecting troops in border areas.
Another report adds that the preparation is tied to broader modernization. It describes new formations and integrated drone units aimed at technology-led deterrence, including the use of unmanned systems, AI-enabled capabilities, and quicker response options. Overall, the sources present Operation Sindoor 2.0 as a preparedness and transformation effort under an existing operational context.
