Organised by the Indian Coast Guard (ICG) Regional head quarter (West), in collaboration with Triumph Motorcycles, the 2,300 km rally traverses India’s border towns and coastal cities, culminating at Gateway of India, Mumbai on Coast Guard Day on February 1. A tribute to ICG’s valour and vigilance, the rally fosters national unity, environmental consciousness and maritime heritage, reinforcing ICG’s enduring mission of safeguarding the seas.

Dy Comdt Gaurav Acharya said the rally is more than a ride — it’s a testament to the Indian Coast Guard’s dedication to safeguarding coasts and borders. It reflects the commitment of brave personnel and aligns with initiatives like Fit India, Beti Bachao Beti Padhao and Swachh Bharat.
