			The ribbon for the Operation Vijay Star was originally established by the Act of the President of India No.116/Pres/01 dated 08/20/2001 as gray (steel–colored), 32 mm wide with two stripes of 4 mm each - red (symbolizes the army) and blue (Indian Air Force).
			The result of the claims of the Indian Navy command regarding the colors of the Operation Vijay Star combat ribbon was the Act of the President of India No. 98/Pres/03 dated 06/18/2003, which added a four-millimeter dark blue stripe to the Operation Vijay Star ribbon, which made it identical in color (except for twice the width of the stripes) to the ribbon of the Operation Vijay medal.<ref>https://sammlung.ru/?p=84401</ref>
