Home to India’s largest dry dock (662m x 65m), SDHI Shipyard has a capacity to build vessels up to 400,000 DWT – a facility which is unmatched in India for building large commercial, cargo and niche and specialized vessels and defence vessels. The annual steel fabrication capacity at the shipyard is 144,000 MT, which is more than all other Indian yards combined, making it an ideal partner to meet domestic and international maritime ambitions. From expansive pre-erection berths to high-capacity cranes to dedicated outfitting areas, our infrastructure achieves results-driven maritime construction.
The shipyard has a 1.2km sea front to support activities including activities like berthing, docking and launching of vessels. The state-of-the-art shipyard is home to one of India's largest fabrication sites in a special economic zone (SEZ) – a dedicated 2.41 Mn sq. ft. of covered shed which allows year around fabrication. The modular shipbuilding facility has a capacity to build fully fabricated and outfitted blocks, ensuring precision and efficiency in every project.
The shipyard is also the first private sector company in India to be licensed and contracted to build warships by the Ministry of Defence, indicating its capability and capacity to build vessels that strengthen the defence and security of our nation.
Historically delivered 18 vessels, including 74,500 DWT Panamax vessels and Offshore Support Vessels among others. The shipyard has also designed and constructed Naval Offshore Patrol Vessels (NOPVs) and a Coast Guard Training Ship (CGTS) in the past.
