Cochin Shipyard Ltd (CSL) is the largest shipbuilding and maintenance facility in India.[2][3] Cochin Shipyard is one of the few companies in the world that have built an aircraft carrier and the only facility in India capable of building such warships.[4] It is part of a line of maritime-related facilities in the port-city of Kochi, in the state of Kerala, India.[5] The shipyard builds platform supply vessels and double-hulled oil tankers. It has built big vessels up to 1,20,000 deadweight tonnage (DWT) capacity, making it the leading shipyard in India in terms of capacity. The company has Miniratna status.[6]

History[edit | edit source]

Cochin Shipyard was incorporated in 1972 as a Government of India company, with the first phase of facilities coming online in 1982.

In August 2012, the Government of India announced plans of divestment to raise capital of ₹1,500 crore for further expansion through an initial public offering (IPO) towards the end of the fiscal year.[7] The Government finalised the decision of stake sale on 18 November 2015. 3.39 crore (33.9 million) shares were planned to be sold, out of which the government held 1,13,000 shares while the others were fresh equity. However, this did not materialise until August 2017, when the company conducted its IPO and listed its shares on the BSE and NSE.[6]

Activities[edit | edit source]

The yard has facilities to build vessels up to 1,10,000 deadweight tonnage (DWT) and repair vessels up to 1,25,000 DWT.[8][9]

Shipbuilding[edit | edit source]

Maharishi Parshuram built in 2002 by Cochin Shipyard for SCI
INS Vikrant being built at Cochin Shipyard in 2017
Prime Minister Narendra Modi commissioned INS Vikrant on September 2, 2022, in Kochi, Kerala.

The first ship to roll out of the Cochin Shipyard was the MV Rani Padmini in 1981.[10]

The yard has delivered two of India's largest double-hull Aframax tankers, each of Template:DWT, including Maharshi Parashuram and Abul Kalam Azad to the Shipping Corporation of India.

CSL has secured shipbuilding orders from internationally renowned companies from Europe and West Asia. The shipyard is building six Template:DWT bulk carriers for Clipper Group of the Bahamas and the first three vessels have been launched.[11]Eight platform supply vessels for the Norwegian Seatankers Management Company, are also under construction.[when?][citation needed].

CSL has also built the fleet of ferry boats used by the Kochi Water Metro, in association with Siemens India and Echandia.[12][13][14]

The shipyard commissioned 310 m (1,020 ft)-long dry dock, capable of accommodating six large vessels annually up to a length of 300 m (980 ft), in January 2024. The dry dock can handle Suezmax tankers, container ships and Capesize bulk carriers.[15]

On 27 December 2024, Adani Ports and SEZ, through its subsidiary, Ocean Sparkle Limited, ordered eight tug boats from CSL. The order is worth about ₹450 crores comprisng eight 70 T Bollard Pull Azimuthing Stern Drive Tugs delivered by Udupi Cochin Shipyard Limited. Deliveries will start in December 2026 and are expected to be completed by August 2028.[16]

As of 30 June 2025, CSL has an order book of ₹21,100 crore (US$3.0 billion) of which 66% is from the Indian Navy. The share is down from 88%.[17]

On 12 January 2026, the shipyard delivered the first of eight Template:DWT multi-purpose vessel, HS Heinz, to Germany-based shipping company HS Schiffahrts. The vessels are part of the HS EcoFreighter ice-class series and are worth ₹110 crore (US$15 million) each. The constructions began in March 2023 with the steel-cutting ceremony of the first vessel. The vessels, designed by Netherlands-based Groot Ship Design and following DNV classification rules, are meant to carry project and heavy cargo, steel coils, containers, timber, paper, dry bulk commodities such as coal and grain, as well as hazardous materials. The vessel has a single large cargo hold with six movable partitions for reconfiguration based on the cargo to be transported. It also features a tween deck arrangement.[17][18][19]

In February 2026, the shipyard has submitted a bid to a tender floated by the Shipping Corporation of India (SCI) for a firm order of 2 dual-fuel, Medium Range Product Tanker for $200 million along with an option for two further vessels.[20]

As of 24 February 2026, CSL is in an advanced negotiation with the HD Hyundai Group, which operates the HD Korea Shipbuilding to establish a 50-50 shipbuilding joint venture worth $500 million in Kochi. A CSL delegation will visit South Korea to finalise the discussions in February. An HD Hyundai delagation has already completed site inspection and evaluation in Kochi. The agreement is expected in the second half of 2026 with an initial investment of above ₹45,000 crore (US$6.3 billion) to construct a ship block fabrication facility on an 80 acres (320,000 m2) leased to CSL by Cochin Port Trust with an annual output of 120,000 metric tonnes. The venture will combine the design expertise, advanced production systems and global order access of HD Hyundai with the infrastructure of CSL. The venture will produce cargo ships, container vessels, tankers, dry bulk carriers, mdeium range (MR) tankers, Panamax vessels and multipurpose ships. The initial blueprints, however, excludes Very Large Crude Carriers (VLCCs) due to infrastructure limitations which can be added later with capacity expansion.[15] The shipyards had signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on 23 September 2025 for a long-term strategic collaboration in shipbuilding.[21]
