India has delivered 625 metric tons of relief supplies to Myanmar under Operation Brahma following the March 28, 2025, earthquake. This humanitarian mission includes search and rescue operations, medical assistance, and essential supplies to support Myanmar’s recovery efforts.

India was among the first to respond to the disaster, deploying emergency aid and disaster relief teams. On March 29, an IAF C-130J aircraft transported 15 tons of relief materials, including tents, blankets, food, and essential medicines, to Yangon. The next day, on March 30, two IAF C-130J aircraft arrived in Nay Pyi Taw, carrying 80 NDRF rescuers, specialized equipment, and 22 tons of additional aid.

In a larger effort, two IAF C-17 aircraft also arrived on March 30, delivering over 60 tons of supplies. This included a field hospital with 118 medical personnel, equipped with emergency surgical units, clean water supplies, and essential health services. Meanwhile, in Mandalay, India helped establish a 200-bed temporary hospital, where medical teams are now treating patients and performing surgeries.

The Indian Navy played a crucial role in the relief mission. On March 29, naval ships Satpura and Savitri arrived in Yangon with 40 tons of humanitarian supplies. Following this, on April 1, ships Karmuk and LCU 52 reached Yangon, delivering 30 tons of emergency goods, including clothing, drinking water, food, and medicines. On the same day, the ship Gharial departed from Visakhapatnam, carrying 442 tons of food aid, including 405 metric tons of rice, 30 metric tons of cooking oil, biscuits, and instant noodles.

With six cargo flights and five naval ships deployed, India remains committed to providing further assistance based on Myanmar’s evolving needs. The initiative reflects India’s Neighbourhood First and Act East policies, reaffirming its role as a reliable regional partner in times of crisis.
