Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers Ltd. (GRSE), a Defence Public Sector Undertaking under the Ministry of Defence, announced on August 1 that it has signed a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Reintjes GmbH, a renowned German company specializing in the design and manufacture of marine propulsion gearboxes.
The collaboration aims to integrate Reintjes GmbH’s high-quality propulsion gear trains with selected engines on ships built by GRSE. This partnership is expected to support both domestic and export shipbuilding programs, including warships for defence forces and commercial vessels.
In its press release, GRSE highlighted that the association would contribute to achieving higher standards of propulsion efficacy, adding to its legacy of engineering excellence. Reintjes GmbH, known for pioneering marine gearbox technology, will play a strategic role in enhancing GRSE’s offerings.
Founded in 1884 and taken over by the Indian government in 1960, GRSE was the first Indian shipyard to build a warship for the Indian Navy. The shipyard has delivered over 800 platforms to date, including 112 warships. Its infrastructure allows for the concurrent construction of 28 ships, and it operates four distinct shipyards—an unmatched advantage in India.
This MoU is in line with GRSE’s ongoing efforts to strengthen technological capabilities and meet global standards in shipbuilding.
