From Frigates, Missile Corvettes, Anti-Submarine Warfare Corvettes, Fleet Tankers, Landing Ship Tank, Landing Craft Utility to Survey Vessels, Offshore Patrol Vessels and Fast Attack Craft – the repertoire is rich and varied. GRSE has embraced infrastructure modernisation over past decades with Rs 605 crore investment towards creating an integrated shipbuilding facility enabling concurrent construction of 20 ships.

From building 05 ton boats to 24600 ton Fleet Tanker, GRSE has done it all and has proved its mettle as a pioneer warship builder of the nation.
Delivery of 8 warships in 22 months (June 17 – Mar 19) is no mean feat which the shipyard has achieved.

Two Fast Patrol Vessels for
Coast Guard Launched Simultaneously by GRSE, Kolkata
on 22 Nov 18
Miniratna Category 1 Defence PSU and premier warship
builder – Garden Reach Shipbuilders and
Engineers (GRSE) Ltd. – added yet another
feather to its illustrious cap with the launch of two
Fast Patrol Vessel (FPV) Ships for Indian Coast Guard,
today. These Vessels, ICGS Amrit Kaur and ICGS Kamla
Devi are third and fourth in the series of five FPVs
built by GRSE for the Indian Coast Guard. Upholding
the best of maritime traditions, the ships were
“Launched” by Smt Veena Naravane; wife of Lt. General
Manoj Mukund Naravane, AVSM, SM, VSM, General Officer
Commanding-In-Chief; Eastern Command, Indian Army. The
ceremony was held in the presence of Rear Admiral
V.K.Saxena, Chairman and Managing Director, GRSE, and
other Senior Officials of GRSE, Indian Coast Guard,
Indian Navy, and Indian Army.
In a period
of over 5 decades since its inception in 1960, GRSE
has successfully developed an array of world-class
platforms including Frigates, Missile Corvettes, Anti
Submarine Warfare Corvettes and Landing Craft Utility
Ships for the Indian Navy, all of them armed with
high-tech infrastructure. With delivery of 98
warships to its credit, GRSE today is well positioned
to construct large warships harnessing advanced
modular shipbuilding technology which is delightfully
at par with the best in the world. The enhanced
shipbuilding capacity of GRSE has taken the
organization to the level where it can construct 20
ships in tandem. With the keel-laying of the 1st
Advanced Stealth Frigate of P17A Project, team GRSE
has once again touched a key milestone. No less a feat
are the bagging of orders for four Survey Vessels
(Large) for The Indian Navy on competitive basis and
emerging a successful bidder through competition for 8
ASWSWCs, with private players active in the fray. The
twin triumphs have further boosted the morale of this
public sector Defence Shipyard, particularly on its
aggressive cost strategies.
The FPV
Ships which were launched today are each 50M long,
7.5M wide with a displacement of around 308 Tons.
These ships are designed for a maximum speed of 34
knots with an endurance of more than 1500 nautical
miles. The FPV designs which are exclusive to GRSE are
an improvisation on the Inshore Patrol Vessels (IPV)
built by the Shipyard for the Indian Coast Guard, few
years ago. The vessels come with an efficient hull
form developed in-house and proved after extensive
model testing. These are fuel efficient and the
powerful platforms are well suited for patrolling,
anti-smuggling, anti-poaching and rescue operations.
They come fitted with state-of-the-art Main Engines
with Advanced Control Systems and Water Jet Units and
an ‘Integrated Bridge System’ assimilating all
Communication and Navigation Systems. The key armament
of a 40/60 Gun and improved habitability features with
fully air conditioned modular accommodation for 35
personnel are the other salient features of the ships.
With the launch now over the company is gearing up for
the post launch activities which include balance
fitting out of the ship, readiness of ship systems and
setting to work of equipment / systems. Once over, the
ships would be put to sea for trials before final
delivery.
As part of Make In India
initiatives of Govt. of India through Indigenisation
Efforts, GRSE has made commendable progress by
successfully incorporating a high percentage of
indigenous content in the ships made in shipyard. INS
Kamorta and INS Kadmatt, the First Two of Class of 4
ASW Corvettes became the first warships built in the
country with indigenously developed warship grade
steel, thus having the distinction of achieving over
90 % indigenous content and hence a major step towards
achieving self reliance in state of the art warship
design and construction space. Regarding the LCUs
class of ships delivered so far, almost 90% indigenous
equipment fit has been achieved. Interestingly, 70 %
indigenous content in construction of four Follow On
WJFACs and 72 % indigenization of the Railless Helo
Traversing System on board 3rd ASW Corvette, INS
Kiltan, have helped GRSE win the confidence of all
stakeholders.
.
Team GRSE continues to raise
its bar higher in the sphere of maritime engineering
excellence. The ace shipbuilder has set sail towards a
growth trajectory in line with its vision to be a
world leader and the launching of the Fast Patrol
Vessels series propels it further towards that goal.
Continuous research and innovation, excellent product
quality, lean thinking and a strong corporate
structure powered by an outstanding human capital
including 100 plus in-house design engineers, promise
a great future for GRSE.

Landing Craft Utility Mk-IV ‘IN LCU L53’
(GRSE
Yard 2094) at port Blair- 25 Apr 18
The third ship of the Landing Craft Utility (LCU) Mk-IV project was inducted into the Indian Navy today at Port Blair. The ship was commissioned as INLCU L53 by Vice Admiral Bimal Verma, AVSM, ADC, Commander-in-Chief A&N Command. Designed and built by Garden Reach Shipbuilders and Engineers (GRSE), Kolkata, the ship showcases the immense potential of the country’s indigenous ship building capability and is in consonance with the national goal of ‘Make in India’.
LCU MK-IV ship is an amphibious ship with a displacement of 830 Tons and is capable of transporting combat equipment such as Main Battle Tanks Arjun, T72 and other Armoured Vehicles. The ship is fitted with state-of-the-art equipment and advanced systems such as the Integrated Bridge System (IBS) and the Integrated Platform Management System (IPMS). The indigenous CRN 91 Gun with Stabilised Optronic Pedestal provides the ship the requisite offensive capability for undertaking patrolling in addition.
The ship, commanded by Lt Cdr Vikas Anand, has a complement of five officers and 45 sailors. Capable of carrying 160 troops in addition, the ships would be based in the Andaman and Nicobar Command bolstering the Command’s capability in undertaking multi role activities such as beaching operations, HADR, search/ rescue, and supply and replenishment of distant islands.
The remaining five ships of the project are in an advanced stage of construction and are scheduled to be inducted into Indian Navy over the next year and half. Induction of these ships will contribute to the nation’s maritime security needs and would accomplish India’s quest for self-reliance in shipbuilding.
