The agreement is yet another step in GRSE’s broader push to forge global partnerships. The shipbuilder also continues to team up with international players to enhance its marine equipment capabilities.
In June 2025, GRSE signed two key agreements with:
- Berg Propulsion (Sweden) to upgrade propulsion systems for government marine projects.
- SunStone (Denmark) for potential collaboration on expedition cruise vessels.
Earlier in April 2025, GRSE also signed an MoU with SWAN Defence and Heavy Industries Ltd to boost domestic shipbuilding capabilities in the commercial segment.
GRSE is a leading defence public sector undertaking (DPSU), with 85% of its revenue derived from shipbuilding activities, making it a key player in India’s maritime defence manufacturing space.
