What Cochin Shipyard does

India's largest public sector shipyard, building and repairing commercial vessels and naval ships including an aircraft carrier.

Earns from long shipbuilding contracts paid in stages as a hull progresses, so revenue is recognised over years and follows order timing; ship repair is a steadier line between builds. The Indian government owns most of the company, and it built INS Vikrant, India's first home-built aircraft carrier.

In one line: India's state-owned shipbuilder, like a smaller HII.
