The Indian defense sector has largely been dependent on imports for critical technologies and equipment. However, of late, the Government of India has made substantial progress in not only achieving self-reliance but also shedding the tag of the leading importer of defense products and has moved a step further to transcending into exports of defense equipment.
Towards the same, the Government in its quest to boost indigenous defense manufacturing has taken substantive steps such as ease of licensing in defense, increased thrust on exports, accelerating the process of Acceptance of Necessity and RFPs, and encouraging private sector participation in defense production.
As per a published report, the Indian Navy’s perspective plan envisaged augmentation of its fleet size from the present 150 to 200 nos. by 2027. Indian Coast Guard is also on a similar expansion program, coherent with the policy of securing coastal territory.
This expansion of maritime forces is expected to provide a spurt in the indigenous shipbuilding arena.
Besides, the Government of India’s indigenization plan is also expected to give a fillip to the growth of ancillaries and generally improve the shipbuilding environment in the country.
In commercial shipbuilding, the requirements envisaged in Coastal and Inland Waterways transportation present the most promising segment. The new multi-modal freight terminal in Varanasi, being part of the Jal Marg Vikas project, marked the beginning of the government’s effort to resurrect the Ganga as a significant transportation artery.
The Company has built a River Passenger Ferry for use in the inland waterways segment and thus makes an inroad in this segment.
The use of new technologies, such as autonomous vessels, artificial intelligence (AI), and automation are the key drivers of the shipbuilding market across the globe. Additionally, the adoption of robotic technologies and Industry 4.0 technologies are likely to supplement the shipbuilding market in the near future.
There is immense potential to forge strategic partnerships and convert India into a hub for defense shipbuilding exports and to offer maintenance support services to friendly foreign countries.
