-* Following the trend of Indian military and police adopting digital patterns, the Central Armed Police Force (CAPF) announced it would be adopting a digital camouflage pattern in mid 2023. Its coloration resembles the old CRPF uniform with a slight modification to the colorway and the addition of black spots. The uniform also seems to be referred to as the “CRPF US Pattern.”

-* In the late 1990s, India began producing its own versions of the US m81 [[woodland]] camouflage pattern, with the usual variability as to color and fabric types. These have been worn by Indian Army personnel on UN deployments, and by Air Force Security Personnel.
+* This design has conventional [[woodland]]-type coloration but with the addition of "cloud-like" elements defining many of the shapes. Yet another pattern that was documented during the Kargil War.

-* Also dating to the Kargil war period, this unusual [[woodland|woodland-variant]] design has amoeba-like shapes that are very similar to those that appeared in the first [[China|Chinese PLA]] design from 1987. Likewise, the color palette of this design is remarkably similar to the Chinese pattern.

		+	* A new camouflage design was approved for the Indian Navy in June 2019, with initial issue to officers beginning in late 2020 and for enlisted personnel in October 2021. Similar to the US Navy's former NWU-1 design, the Indian version incorporates dark grey, medium grey and blue grey patches on a pale grey background. Visually the design appears different from that worn by the Indian Navy recruits (introduced in 2018). By early 2021, it was announced that the Indian Coast Guard would also begin wearing this uniform. Both services are replacing a previously issued solid blue uniform (No. 10A in the Navy) that is worn for shore duty and on Fridays, but not aboard ships.

	* On 2 December 2021 it was announced that a new digital camouflage combat uniform for the Indian Army would be revealed at the annual Army Day Parade on 15 January 2022. The pattern was developed in a collaboration between the Indian Army and the Indian National Institute of Fashion Technology. It initially began in mid-2020 as simply an update to the older PC uniform but in May 2021 the army changed the request to completely new uniform and camouflage pattern. 15 different patterns were experimented with before they settled on it. The pattern was officially unveiled by the Parachute Regiment on 15 January 2022 in the Army Day parade. The colors of the pattern are essentially the same as the PC Disruptive camouflage, which it replaces, but in pixelated horizontal stripes. It was designed work in multiple environments and to differentiate the army from other Indian paramilitary organizations.		* On 2 December 2021 it was announced that a new digital camouflage combat uniform for the Indian Army would be revealed at the annual Army Day Parade on 15 January 2022.
