On the occasion of its 50th Foundation Day on 4th April 2025, the Indian Register of Shipping (IRS) achieved a remarkable milestone by setting an Indian record for the ‘Largest Corporate Flag made on cloth’, as recognised by the India Book of Records.

The massive flag, measuring 60 feet by 40 feet, was unfurled within the IRS Head Office premises. Adorned with the organisation’s logo, emblem, and corporate colours, the flag stands as a bold and symbolic representation of IRS’s legacy, values, and continued commitment to excellence in the maritime industry.

The record was officially witnessed by an adjudicator from the India Book of Records, who presented a certificate after the flag was unfurled.

Commenting on the achievement, Mr. P K Mishra, MD of IRS, said, ‘This record-setting flag is not just a symbol of our Golden Jubilee celebrations, but a tribute to the dedication and unity of our entire team.

It reflects the scale of our ambition and the pride we take in representing India’s capabilities on the global maritime stage’.
