INS Vikramaditya to increase power & capability of Indian Navy: K Raja Menon

New Delhi, Nov 16 (ANI): As the much awaited USD 2.3 billion aircraft carrier INS Vikramaditya is set to be inducted into the Indian Navy on Saturday, Rear Admiral (Retd) K Raja Menon said that the carrier will definitely increase the power and capability of the Indian Navy in the long run.
