Message from C&MD for the World
Garden Reach Shipbuilders and Engineers (GRSE) Ltd is in the process of expanding its global presence in keeping with the Government of India's policy of 'Make in India - Make for World'. With our expertise in building state-of-the-art warships for the Indian Navy and Indian Coast Guard, we are now aggressively pursuing business opportunities for naval platforms in friendly foreign countries. Warships built by GRSE have already been exported to friendly foreign nations. At the same time, GRSE is keen to bag international orders for commercial platforms. Our performance in the recent past has established our efficiency and acumen in handling orders for complex commercial platforms for foreign countries. In days to come, GRSE shall also emerge a leader in the field of green platforms and meet global requirements.
