Unmatched Scale To Build Future-Ready Maritime Assets 

Swan Defence and Heavy Industries Limited (SDHI) operates the largest shipyard in India, a sprawling 600-acre powerhouse strategically located at Pipavav, Gujarat. Beyond its sheer physical footprint, the facility is defined by a seamless integration of advanced logistics and heavy-lifting technology. Our infrastructure is anchored by a massive dry dock and the nation’s largest Goliath Crane, providing the heavy-lift capability essential for assembling sophisticated defence and commercial vessels.

To ensure uninterrupted production, the yard features one of the country’s most expansive covered fabrication environments, optimizing workflow and structural precision. This ecosystem is further enhanced by a dedicated seafront, a specialized wet basin for final outfitting, and a robust multi-modal transport network linking the yard to global supply chains via sea, air, rail, and road. By combining modular fabrication techniques with the most advanced shipbuilding sites in the country, SDHI serves as a critical strategic asset, reinforcing India’s position as a premier global hub for maritime defence and energy infrastructure.
