Wadia Group is an Indian multinational conglomerate, headquartered in Mumbai. The group was founded by Lovji Nusserwanjee Wadia in 1736. Lovji Wadia secured contracts with the British East India Company to build ships and docks in Bombay in 1736.^[3] This, and subsequent efforts, would result in Bombay becoming a strategic port for the British colonial undertakings in Asia.

The Bombay dry dock, the first dry dock in Asia, was built by Lovji and his brother Sorabji in 1750.

Among the historical ships built by the Wadia Group are HMS Minden, HMS Cornwallis, and HMS Trincomalee.
