The recognition highlights GRSE’s sustained efforts in integrating Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) into its shipbuilding ecosystem, thereby enhancing localisation and strengthening indigenous defence manufacturing capabilities. Through close collaboration with industry partners across the country, the Shipyard has expanded MSME participation in the construction of advanced warships and vessels for the Indian Navy, the Indian Coast Guard, Central & State government Organisations and friendly foreign nations.

This prestigious honour also reflects GRSE’s alignment with the Hon’ble Prime Minister’s vision of transforming India from “Local to Global” by fostering innovation, self-reliance and competitiveness within the domestic industrial ecosystem.

As one of India’s leading warship builders, GRSE has developed a robust vendor ecosystem that supports the design and construction of complex maritime platforms. The honour underscores the Shipyard’s continued commitment to building a resilient domestic supply chain and promoting wider participation of Indian industry in the nation’s defence production ecosystem.
