What Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers does

Kolkata-based public sector shipyard building naval warships, frigates and patrol vessels for the Indian Navy and Coast Guard.

Builds warships under long government contracts and is paid in stages as construction milestones are met, so revenue is recognised gradually over years and the order book gives long visibility. The Indian Ministry of Defence owns it, and a few large naval programmes make up most of its work. It has also built commercial vessels for export.

In one line: India's state-owned naval shipbuilder.
