  • Ship Repair revenue is projected to cross INR 900 crores this year, with a medium-term target of INR 1,200 crores within about three years.

  • The order book, including naval projects like 8 ASW Corvettes and 6 NGMVs, has an executable horizon of approximately 7 years, ensuring steady revenue.
  • Upcoming projects such as the Indigenous Aircraft Carrier (IAC) 2 and medium-term international contracts (e.g., CSOV vessels in Europe) are expected to fuel growth.
  • The company foresees sustained better margins alongside revenue growth, driven by high-margin ship repair and naval orders.
