Make in India: Indian Navy gets first private sector-made warships – Shachi and Shruti offshore patrol vessels

New Naval Offshore Patrol Vessels: In a boost to Make in India drive for the defence sector, Indian Navy's two new Naval Offshore Patrol Vessels (NOPVs) have been launched at Pipavav Shipyard in Gujarat. These are the first set of warships that have been manufactured by the private defence sector for the Indian Navy! Names Shachi and Shruti, the NOPVs have been made by Reliance Defence and Engineering Limited. We take a look at some interesting facts about the new patrol vessels of the Indian Navy:

The new ships will help the Indian Navy in its surveillance activities across India's vast Exclusive Economic Zone. The ships, Shachi and Shruti will also perform tasks such as fleet support operations, maritime security of offshore assets, anti-piracy patrols, coastal security operations, and protection of shipping lanes.

Shachi and Shruti patrol ships are armed with 76mm Super Rapicd Gun Mount system along with two 30mm AK-630M guns. These are meant to provide medium and short range offensive and defence capabilities to the Indian Navy.

The armament is remotely controlled through an electronic Fire Control System, says the Indian Navy. These ships are fitted with diesel engine driven propulsion systems and can attain speeds up to 25 knots.

The ship's operations are controlled by an Intelligent Integrated Platform Management System. This has interfaces for all operational activities onboard the ship.

The ships are part of a 5 ship project for the Indian Navy. The new ships will soon be commissioned into the Indian Navy.

UNGA fallout: Turkish Company could be out of the FSS project for Indian Navy

On the completion of the evaluation, the second round of negotiations related to the price is on the agenda. This was the first time ever that a Turkish shipyard which is part of TAIS industrial group, participated in any defence contract in India.

The Hindustan Shipyard Limited (HSL)’s collaboration with M/s Anadolu Shipyard, Turkey for the FSS project estimated to cost of $ 2.3 billion is expected to be put on a hold.

Without citing any reason, speaking to Financial Express Online on condition of anonymity, a senior official confirmed that “The contract for the 45,000-ton fleet support ships (FSS) for the Indian Navy with the Turkish Company could be delayed.”


“It could be a fall out of Turkey cosying up to Pakistan and raising Kashmir issue at the recently concluded 74th United Nations General Assembly (UNGA),” said the officer.

It may be recalled that the Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan had raised the Kashmir issue and had criticised the international community for not paying attention to the situation. On the sidelines of the UNGA, Prime Minister Narendra Modi met with leaders of Turkey’s strong rivals and close neighbours –Cyprus, Armenia and Greece.

The Turkish Shipyard was L1 and had technically qualified for the FSS project for the Indian Navy from among three other global companies who were in the race for the construction of five ships. Seven global players had initially responded to the Request for Proposal — the German ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems (TKMS), Fincantieri of Italy, Navantia from Spain, Rosboronexports (ROE) from Russia and Turkey’s Anadolu Shipyard. At the end of the scrutiny only three companies including TKMS, ROE and the Turkish Shipyard was shortlisted.

Though no contract has been inked yet as the analysis of the technical and financial assessment is going on, the Turkish shipyard as part of negotiations is expected to provide ship design, supply key machinery equipment (KME) and provide technical assistance.

$2.3-bn loss for Turkey for blabbering against India on Kashmir - FSS contract by HSL stalled

How Indian navy selected Turkish firm.

Do you actually go through the news sources or just read the headlines?
The Turkish firm in question partnered with HSL, Vizag, and bid for the FSS project, amongst other contenders.
the IN has NOT made a decision yet.
And what in the world is up with these one line posts?
If you have a series of posts to make, collate them in one and then post them.
pretty sure they will go unanswered though, given how juvenile and uninformed they appear.

Turkey's ties to Pakistan may sink Indian Navy supply ship deal
Media reports have suggested that a consortium of Turkish shipyards could lose a contract to provide assistance to Hindustan Shipyard Limited in Visakhapatnam to build five 45,000 tonne fleet support ships for the Indian Navy.

The fleet support ship project, announced in 2016, aims to provide the Indian Navy with auxiliary vessels that will ferry weapons, food, equipment and other items to replenish ships deployed at sea. The consortium of Turkish shipyards, led by Anadolu Shipyard, was selected to partner with Hindustan Shipyard in May. Anadolu Shipyard was to provide design assistance and equipment for the fleet support ship contract, which is estimated to have a total value of around $2.3 billion. Construction of the first fleet support ship was expected to be over in four years.

The Turkish shipyard consortium had not yet formally signed a contract with Hindustan Shipyard on the fleet support ship project.

The Economic Times reported security concerns have been raised about close ties of Turkish shipbuilders and the Pakistan Navy. The Economic Times added the access to Hindustan Shipyard by the Turkish partner could result in serious security issues. This is on account of Hindustan Shipyard's proximity to the Ship Building Centre, where the Indian Navy is building its nuclear-powered submarines.

In September, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan attended the start of construction of the first of four 'stealthy' warships for the Pakistan Navy at a shipyard in Istanbul. Pakistan and Turkey had agreed in 2018 for the supply of four MILGEM corvettes, which are multi-role warships designed in Turkey. Turkish companies are also modernising Pakistan's fleet of French-designed conventional submarines. Over a decade ago, the Pakistan Navy chose a Turkish design for its new class of missile-armed small craft.

On October 3, US defence publication Defense News quoted a ministry of defence official in India as saying "punitive action would bar Anadolu from carrying out any business with Hindustan because such a partnership could have grave consequences for India’s security".

“Involvement of [the] Turkish defense company will include overseeing construction, detailed manufacturing, engineering, selecting equipment, quality assurance, etc. This would mean a permanent presence of Turkish people at HSL yard. That is a big security risk,” an Indian Navy official told Defense News. The publication quoted an official as saying the Indian Navy will direct "Hindustan to immediately end ties with Anadolu".

Diplomatic ties between India and Turkey have been frayed since September when Erdogan supported Pakistan's attempts to internationalise the Jammu and Kashmir dispute. In a 'tit-for-tat' response on Thursday, the Indian government expressed concern about Turkey's ongoing invasion of Syria.

The likely ouster of the Turkish consortium is yet another setback for the Indian Navy's fleet support ship programme. Hindustan Shipyard had initially selected South Korean shipbuilding giant Hyundai Heavy Industries for the fleet support ship contract and held long discussions. However, a venture with Hyundai was dropped by October 2018 following disputes over quality assurance requirements.

HSL has a bright future with several orders in pipeline, says CMD
Hindustan Shipyard Limited Chairman and Managing Director Rear Admiral (retired) L.V. Sarat Babu said the company was poised for a good time ahead after it was successfully made a turnaround due to all-out efforts by the employees.

Addressing the employees here on Saturday, he said they were all set to get orders for five Fleet Support Ships at a cost of Rs 9,045 crore and two Special Operation Vehicles worth about ₹5,000 crore from the Indian Navy.

The HSL had requisite capability, infrastructure and spare capacity for executing construction/refits of submarines, he said disclosing that the yard was putting its best efforts to bid for medium refit and life certification of fourth EKM submarine. The shipyard had also expressed its interest in construction of six submarines for the Indian Navy under the Project 75 (I) in collaboration with Adani Defence System Technologies Ltd. Towards this the yard was in the process of formation of a joint venture.

Mr. Sarat Babu said these initiatives, the HSL expected to sustain its performance in the long run and keep the momentum in future. As part of infrastructure upgradation, implementation of SAP S4/HANA ERP solution was in progress. The unique feature of this ERP system would be integration of design software, Aveva Marine including its 3D features with an embedded PLM in SAP.


Wage revision arrears ::

The CMD said despite financial constraints, 60% of the outstanding wage arrears of 2009 had been cleared. Further, leave encashment dues of the retired employees who retired up to March, 2015 had been paid.

In order to boost morale of the employees, pay revision of officers and wage revision of staff and workmen with effect from April 1, 2018, had been considered by the board and the same was submitted to the ministry for clearance.
