Because most of its works were done by a private shipyard in Gujarat and later transferred it to MDL, means MDL now outsourcing some work. I guess navy also want it as early as possible to withdraw old Kashins from frontline. Similarly Garden reach shipbuilders also outsourced Nilgiri program work to L&T reduce time.
I hope L&T can start winning some major ship orders outright, it’s sad that all they’ve had till now is some OPVs for the coastguard. If they get the scale to grow they can surely become one of Asia’s premier commercial ship makers.

fingers crossed that P-18 or a P-17B(if it happens) would allow for private yards to get full order privileges. The hand holding of public shipyards has to end, like every other PSU it’s time to perform or perish.

i heard to win large govt contracts, there is an escalating ladder to qualify for large contracts. for example they have to compete and win in 1000 crore, 3000 crore to get to 5000 crore and above contracts.

Last few years have been dry lot of contracts are pending....support ships,ngmv,ngopv etc
Lot of ship building capacity lying idle...tho i think shipyards shouldn't just rely on navy for major orders

L&T already exports ships, but until they make a large naval warship for IN, export orders will be hard to come by. One destroyer class order will change their fortunes. They already build sub-systems for these ships & run SBC Vizag. For the suvey vessel class, they have launched the hull much faster than GRSE (18 vs 24).

best they will get anytime sson is opv's or maybe corvettes(this to very unlikely)....ddg/ffg no chance ..we need to order dozens of ships per class for that to happen

GoI and especially MoD is very provincial when it comes to handing out Shipbuilding contracts. It will prefer PSU's over Private players by default. Also, every PSU has its own expertise in building a particular type of warship which we can see in the form of Mazgaon being the premier site for building Large Surface Combatants (Destroyers, Frigates), GRSE for OPV's,Corvette's and now Frigates, CSL for Capital Ships and Small Combatants ( Carriers, Missile Boats and hopefully in the future LPH/LPD's) and HSL for its future AOR/AKE Ships. In such an environment Private players are mostly hard pressed and usually awarded either spillover contracts or contracts to supply the above 3 Major PSU Shipyards with pre-fab modules only. Btw, L&T is already in business as they collaborate with GRSE.

That's not a relevant response.

If you reply for the sake of replying, you are spamming. You shouldn't be posting mediocre content which has been discussed to death.

Most members here have extensive knowledge of military systems. But you aren't their reflection at all, are going too basic.
