With profound grief and heavy heart, regret to inform sad demise of Lt Cdr Vijay Rajan, (01686-F), 72 yrs, on Sun 05 Apr 2026 at his Nyati Windchimes Pune residence, where he’d shifted from Mumbai for Onco treatment in CH Pune, leaving behind many to mourn his transit to higher realms.

The officer rendered 20 years of distinguished service in the Indian Navy as an Executive Officer in the Submarine Arm (TAS), serving the nation with pride and honour. He was commissioned on 01 July 1976 and retired on 31 August 1996. Following his retirement, he settled in Cuffe Parade, Mumbai and continued his maritime service in the Merchant Navy for over 25 years.

On behalf of President and all the members of NFPC, we offer our deepest sympathy and heartfelt condolences to his Wife (NOK), Mrs Anita Rajan, Son Varun Rajan and the grieving family members. We pray that they bear the irreplaceable loss with courage and fortitude.

Funeral and Last rites were conducted at Muktidham crematorium, Golibar Maidan, Pune on 6 Apr 2026.
