GRSE achieves another ‘first’ on the eve of 63rd raising day

New Delhi: On the eve of its 63rd Raising Day, Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers Limited (GRSE) has achieved another significant milestone by undertaking the docking of 110-metre long Large Survey Vessel 'Sandhayak' at Dock No 2 of its Rajabagan Dockyard (RBD) Unit. The leading warship builder in the country celebrated its 63rd Raising Day on Tuesday.

This feat has transformed the RBD unit into a full-fledged independent Yard to accomplish docking activities of similar large ships in the future to meet the maritime requirements on India's Eastern Seaboard and thereby reiterating the Shipyard's commitment to nation-building. Becoming the first Indian Shipyard to deliver 100 Warships to the Indian Navy, Indian Coast Guard and friendly foreign countries, the company commenced its purposeful journey in 1960 and has made a stellar contribution in the shipbuilding and engineering products to date.

The Raising Day event witnessed wholehearted and enthusiastic participation from all sections of GRSE employees in the presence of GRSE's Chairman and Managing Director Cmde PR Hari, IN (Retd), Director (Finance) RK Dash and senior officials of GRSE.
