The Information Fusion Centre – Indian Ocean Region (IFC-IOR), hosted by
the Indian Navy, was established by the Government of India on 22
December 2018 at Gurugram to promote collaborative maritime safety and
security across the Indian Ocean Region (IOR).
The Centre functions as a regional hub for maritime information sharing,
supporting cooperative responses to both traditional and non-traditional
maritime security challenges.
