@cvkrishnan Designing a VLCC is not a major task, VLGCs are. Only because of integration of Gas tanks with hull. At least they can start with a JB and then improve. Unlike PSUs who can’t design even a FPV on their own. Despite getting ToT for Submarines.
@hem_foxtrot I think the user does not know basic principles of design. A mobile tower will also undergo this level of structural analysis. And connecting these examples to Design in India is a gimmick for engagement.
@alpha_defense Maybe It is because almost all Shipyards have retired ppl in higher management. Its a mutual understanding. No one wants to leave post retirement paycheques.
@mountain_rats India lacks skills labour to execute any of the Projects on time. While building time of a commercial and naval ship can’t be compared, however it is well known that all PSUs are incapable of delivering projects ontime. And this will burst this bubble of Indian shipbuilding.
@hem_foxtrot @NNVRAKESH Model testing is common requirement for all newly designed ships and are carried out as per ITTC procedures. So it not very strange. Infact model testing agency in India lacks database which restricts us to predict actual behaviour.
A National Shipbuilding Mission oversees coordination. The policy aims to boost domestic capacity, global competitiveness, and position India among top shipbuilding nations by 2047 under Maritime Amrit Kaal Vision.
India's recent shipbuilding policy, with operational guidelines notified in late December 2025, comprises two key schemes under a ₹44,700 crore outlay:
Shipbuilding Financial Assistance Scheme (SBFAS): ₹24,736 crore corpus, providing 15-25% subsidies per vessel(1/n)
Includes a Shipbreaking Credit Note (40% of scrap value credit for new builds) to promote recycling and circular economy. Shipbuilding Development Scheme (SbDS): ₹19,989 crore for greenfield clusters, brownfield modernisation,and establishing India Ship Technology Centre for R&D
@awwwditi Newest scam is….they transfer money to you and then file a cyber case stating you have done fraud so that the transaction goes in dispute. And then run to Police station and bank and settle down by paying some money!
@sanjeevsanyal@zippynathan1974 While the Resistance and stability will be ok. There maybe challenges in achieving good Seakeeping characteristics for this vessel. Model scale seakeeping test to be done in atleast SS5 operational conditions.
@anandmahindra Sir India is capable of doing same however, our yards lacks optimum crane capacity. Which restricts the size of each block and increases the building time. We are doing same at a smaller scale at most of our shipyards.
