Naval Group aims at expanding industrial ecosystem for “Make in India”

At SMM INMEX, Naval Group and Naval Group in India organized ‘Interaction with Indian Naval Industrial Ecosystem’, which was attended by several companies from defence industry. The industry meet resulted in fruitful exchange of information and acted as platform for future partnerships aimed at achieving maximum indigenous content in Naval Group’s future proposals for submarines, torpedoes and others. The occasion was marked by agreement between Kirloskar Pneumatic Company Limited (KPCL) and Vajra Rubbers to co-operate and find indigenous solutions for submarine applications. Bernard Buisson, Managing Director of Naval Group in India noted, “Building upon the acquired knowledge and expertise, more technology transfers in equipment and design, under the ‘Make in India’ and DPP 2016, will be achieved for our future submarine and other naval programs.

Naval Group and “Make in India” initiative, a success story

In India, Naval Group is committed to a close collaboration with the Indian Navy and local shipbuilding industry through the existing projects of P75 Scorpene® submarines and P28 anti-submarine corvettes.. Indigenisation of P75 is a good example of a "Make in India" project, where all the 6 submarines were manufactured in India by Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders Limited (MDL) with transfer of technology from Naval Group. On September 21st, Naval Group has been proud witness to the successful delivery of INS Kalvari, the first P75 submarine, which achieves our vision to strengthen strategic partnership in India. Since 2006, Naval Group had been involved in P28 project, for delivery of raft mounted gearboxes with high military stealth features. This was one of the major indigenous manufacturing achievements for Naval Group in India as 6 out of 8 complex gearboxes were manufactured by Indian partner at Walchandnagar.   About Naval Group India Naval Group India is a 100 % owned subsidiary of Naval Group (previously DCNS), which is headquartered in Paris, France.
