Eight mega clusters set to propel shipbuilding in India
The Island
|July 08, 2025
India is working to dramatically expand its domestic shipbuilding capabilities, with plans to establish eight such clusters along its expansive coastline.
While five of these facilities will be built from the ground up, the rest three will involve expansion of existing facilities.
The government has finalized the locations with pre-secured land parcels and necessary clearances, Union Shipping Secretary T.K. Ramachandran said. The mega-initiative, a cornerstone of the nation's Atmanirbhar Bharat (Self Reliant India) drive, aims to transform India into a global shipbuilding powerhouse.
