India capable of making world’s best Warships

[commander jain]

NEW DELHI: Indian Navy chief Admiral RK Dhowan on Monday called for increased private investment in defence manufacturing which, he said, is capable of producing the world’s best warships and submarines.

“The navy has outlined its science and technology roadmap for next 15 years and has shared it with the industry, underlining nearly 100 sets of technologies which are to be absorbed in our warships and submarines,” he said at an interaction between private investors and naval officers here.

Dhowan said the navy would provide all the support to MSMEs (micro, small, medium enterprises) in research, design and development of weaponry.

“The blueprint of the future of Indian Navy is firmly anchored in self reliance and indigenisation and I think this partnership with the Indian industry, both public and private, will ensure that our future warships, submarines and the aviation sector will be 100 percent made in India,” he said.

NITI Ayog Chief Executive Officer Amitabh Kant said defence manufacturing had to be the centre point of India’s growth story.

“If manufacturing has to grow, defence manufacturing has to be the driver. Without defence manufacturing, India can never grow in double digit and sustain growth trajectory for long,” Kant said in his brief address at the event.

“In the last 15 months we have cleared licences for 125 defence manufacturers. The key principle was that the private manufacturers would be treated at par with the public sector units,” Kant said.

He said the Narendra Modi government has adopted a balanced approach so that “private manufacturers get a level playing field to compete and win contracts in India”.

The navy chief highlighted the opportunities where the private sector can collaborate with the public sector in warship building.

“In the float components of a warship which comprises the structures of it, India has achieved nearly 90 percent indigenisation. That’s because warship seals are being designed and developed by the DRDO (Defence Research and Development Organisation) and is being manufactured in the country,” Dhowan said.

He added that the aircraft carrier Vikrant, which was being built in Kochi, has an Indian seal.

[IN-2030]

What is the status of P-75i?

 

[Bad Guy]

Kolkata Class (Nice though not best)
Visakhapatnam class (among top 5)
project 17A class frigates (promising to be best in it's class).

I think one area our destroyers lack is long-range land attack cruise missile!!
We need nirbhay fast!!

This is coz of well planning and proper execution ...Indian Army and Air force should learn from Navy.

Looks like best strategic thinking minds go to the Navy instead of Air Force or Army. Especially these lines "Dhowan said the navy would provide all the support to MSMEs (micro, small, medium enterprises) in research, design and development of weaponry." caught my eye. Way to go Mr Dhowan. Good on ya..

That'll be done with time.
Anyway, we're signing LEMoA with US to use each other's military bases.
Our ACs and Nuclear Submarines can definitely go there. How about Kolkata class? It's range 15000 km.

This is coz of well planning and proper execution ...Indian Army and Air force should learn from Navy.

Even Army has caught right path after privatization. Concern must be AF. Wish it also gets momentum after ToTs.

In small transport aircrafts & in helicopter sector we will be in good position by 2020 as C-295, Ka-226, Dhruv, LUH/LOH, LCH & TASL is making parts of Apache helicopters, we may expect some more ToT in these sectors but in medium & Heavy lift, fighter category, we still have long way to go.
I hope Reliance will bring ToT for An-178.
I can see bright future if we see AMCA complete by 2030, I think at least one private firm must be used as JV to make AMCA for export, also we know private how pvt firms bring required technology than PSU.
One person was claiming we might not have seen K9 if L&T wouldn't have involved.

 

[GodToons]

No doubt.. Shipyards lacks in speed and turn around time.

Unless this improves.. every thing is worthless.

 

[MKC]

Also capacity, otherwise MDL/GSRE might have competed for RAN frigate project after all AFAIK P17A is better than Global Combat Ship, also cheaper.

Other worst thing is all our ships build in home are always underpowered

You mean engines?
Or armaments?
