GRSE has completed more than 90 ships
Since delivering INS Ajay in
1961, GRSE has completed more
than 90 ships for the Indian
Navy and Indian Coast Guard.
These include frigates, anti-
submarine warfare corvettes,
missile corvettes, tankers,
landing ships, fast attack craft,
survey vessels and offshore
patrol vessels.
GRSE’s facilities are spread
across seven units over
an area of 176 acres, and
the shipyard has recently
completed a modernisation
project introducing facilities to
enable more efficient modular
build. This has created a state-
of-the-art shipbuilding plant
comprising a 10,000-ton dry
dock, a 4,500-ton inclined berth,
and a large module hall with
sliding roof for consolidation
of mega-hull blocks. All three
major facilities are co-located
and covered by a 250-ton
capacity Goliath crane ).
In addition, GRSE has become
the first Indian shipyard to
integrate a carbon composite
superstructure with a steel
hull, resulting in greater ship
stability and a reduction in
weight.
