Cochin Shipyard Limited (CSL) has announced plans to invest ₹6,000 crore over the next five to six years, primarily to enhance its shipbuilding and repair capabilities. The funding will be sourced from a mix of government schemes, multilateral loans, blue bonds, and internal accruals. This strategic investment is driven by a strong order pipeline and new contracts, reflecting CSL's commitment to expanding its presence in the global commercial vessel market. Additionally, CSL is considering a greenfield shipyard project, which is still in the conceptual phase and could require an investment of $2-3 billion. The company has also secured new commercial shipbuilding orders from both European and domestic clients, while defense contracts from the Indian Navy continue to anchor its business, accounting for about two-thirds of its total order book.
