In a significant boost to domestic naval shipbuilding, Cochin Shipyard Limited (CSL) is targeting November 2026 to formally sign the ₹5,000 crore contract for five Next-Generation Survey Vessels (NGSV) for the Indian Navy.

Having earlier emerged as the lowest (L1) bidder in the Ministry of Defence tender, CSL management has confirmed that the procurement is now in its final stages, concluding Price Negotiation Committee (PNC) formalities and progressing toward Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) clearance.

Once formally inked, this sure-shot defense order will expand CSL’s unexecuted order book from ₹22,000 crore to approximately ₹27,000 crore, securing robust multi-year revenue visibility for the shipyard.
