| Summary / Abstract (Note) | India has created a huge industrial base for naval warship construction. The growing capability of the industry is evident from its ability to construct major warships, including an aircraft carrier, destroyers, frigates and submarines. At the same time, there are certain weaknesses in the industry, which prohibit it from meeting the vast requirement of the maritime forces in the required timeframe and cost efficiently. Among others, the industry as a whole does not operate in a competitive environment, lacks crucial capability in warship design, and lacks civil-military integration for naval construction. Overcoming these challenges will be critical for creating a strong and vibrant naval shipbuilding industry in India. |
