About — National Shipbuilding Programme
The National Shipbuilding Programme, launched in 2021, is a government initiative to boost India's domestic shipbuilding capacity and cut dependence on foreign yards. By 2024 it had awarded a ₹12,000‑crore contract to Hindustan Shipyard for six offshore patrol vessels, illustrating the programme’s focus on public‑private partnerships.
