India built its first warship
Barracuda, a 75 ft by 15 ft vessel which can house 20- odd sailors. It is
designed and built by the Kolkata based Garden Reach Shipbuilders. Mauritius is
buying this Coast Guard ship for Rs. 350 crore. According to reports, two more
ships are also under construction at the Goa Shipyard and will be sold to Sri lanka.
A.K.Verma , Chairman and
Managing Director, GRSE said: “Our first export order, a warship, will be
delivered to Mauritius by December this year. We are also looking to tap the
export segment in the coming days. Preliminary discussions have begun with some
countries.”
Now the warships will be
manufactured in Indian shipyards. India no longer need to buy it from foreign
manufacturers. Ministry of India cancelled to buy submarines recently and asked
Navy to build it in India.
