  • Non-IAC naval shipbuilding projects (ASW Corvette, NGMV) and ship repair contribute remainder; ASW Corvette orders to begin revenue recognition from FY22, NGMV orders expected from FY24.
  • The shipbuilding turnover target is approximately ₹2500 crore, including ₹1600-1700 crore from NGMV and ₹800-1000 crore from ASW Corvette.
  • Ship repair turnover is expected around ₹750-800 crore, with Cochin and other yards ramping up post-COVID disruptions.

Margin guidance

Category 3
  • Continued strong order pipeline, with current order book ~₹12,000 crores and next generation missile vessels (NGMV) ~₹10,000 crores.
  • Targeting FY23 revenue around ₹4,000 crores, up from ₹3,500 crores in FY22.
  • Shipbuilding margins expected to normalize post-IAC project; IAC had higher-than-normal margins due to its unique scale and phase.
  • New orders like ASW Corvette and NGMV expected to contribute from FY22/FY24 onwards, with ASW margins single-digit and NGMV low double-digit margins.
  • Ship repair business aims to regain FY20 turnover levels, with consistent margins expected.
  • Infrastructure improvements (dry dock, ISRF) and scale-up post-IAC completion intended to support higher annual order execution (₹1,500-2,000 crores).
  • Overall profitability may moderate from unusually high FY21 levels due to project phases but expected to maintain stable growth aligned with order book execution.
