Indian Navy's only operational aircraft carrier, INS Vikramaditya, will soon become the first ever warship to have an ATM onboard.
According to a media report, State Bank of India (SBI) is scheduled to launch ATM facility onboard this warship today.
INS Vikramaditya is based in Karwar of Karnataka where town is quiet far from the jetty.
Since Navy personnel had to travel at least 4-5 Km for accessing ATM facilities in the small satellite town of Karvar, Indian Navy approached India's largest bank SBI to provide ATM facility onboard country's biggest ship which they finally agreed to.
The ATM on INS Vikramaditya will operate through satellite link.
Russian made aircraft carrier INS Vikramaditya was commissioned in Indian Navy in November 2013.
With over 1,600 personnel on board, INS Vikramaditya is literally a 'Floating City'.
