The Goa Shipyard Limited (GSL) on Thursday signed a contract with the Indian Army for the supply of 12 high-performance specialised patrol crafts.
The contract was signed between the Indian Army and GSL CMD Cmde B B Nagpal at New Delhi. The contract was bagged by GSL on a competitive basis among public and private shipbuilders from India.
Though GSL had earlier built over 170 GRP boats for Ministry of Home Affairs and other customers, these crafts for Indian Army are to be built on a completely new design and fitted with specialised equipment to meet the requirement of Indian Army.
The Indian Army had floated a tender couple of months earlier for these 12 specialised crafts which are to be supplied to the Indian Army in 2021 itself. These crafts will be constructed at GSL and will be only a few in the world for such specialised operations.
