New Delhi: As part of boosting indigenous industry in shipbuilding, the five-day DefExpo 2022 beginning October 18 will see Goa Shipyard (GSL) showcasing capabilities which are mainly aimed at building futuristic and potent platforms, indigenisation and import substitution, and ‘Making in India’ for the World.
At the expo, a number of MoUs are expected to be signed during the Bandhan event which will be conducted on the sidelines of the expo.
There will be a dedicated exhibition stall which will enable active participation and interaction with Indian and overseas industry partners and also potential partners.
To highlight the indigenous shipbuilding capabilities of the shipyard, there will be a display of scaled models of its flagship products including Advanced Missile Frigate, Offshore Patrol Vessels, and Fast Patrol Vessels.
The shipyard in the last few years has established new benchmarks in the Shipbuilding Industry of the country by delivering Vessels ahead of contractual delivery schedules.
According to an official statement, the shipyard which is backed by strong design house and superior ‘Quality’ ships has emerged as one of the fastest growing yards in the country. It builds sophisticated high technology ships. It has an unmatchable track record of execution and delivery on time at ‘fixed cost’ of over more than 160 Fast Interceptor Boats, and 200 Ships.
It has constantly been building and consolidating its experience which it has gained over half a century and consistent track record of timely deliveries, and reputation for excellence. All these have enabled GSL to meet the challenges of the future requirement of the Indian armed forces indigenously.
GSL will be part of the Ministry of Defence Pavilion and will be open for visitors on all the days of the expo.
