It operates on a diesel-electric propulsion system. Four main generators (2,820 kW total) provide power to a single controllable-pitch propeller. While this reduces fuel efficiency compared to modern ships, it provides exceptionally quiet operations—critical for acoustic research (echo sounding, sub-bottom profiling). The vessel also includes a bow thruster for dynamic positioning, allowing it to maintain a fixed point over a deep-sea site without dragging anchor. Sagar Kanya Research Vessel
