L & T Bags Rs.977 Cr. Order From Defence Ministry
Larsen & Toubro or L&T said that the Defence Ministry of India has awarded a contract worth Rs.977 crore for design and construction of 36 high speed interceptor boats for the Indian Coast Guard, an initiative taken by the government to strengthen coastal security.
The interceptor boats will feature aluminium-alloy hull construction with water jet propulsion to enable quick response which is vital for such applications. The interceptors will also be able to operate effectively in shallow water that will be critical for near shore action. The boats are expected to increase our coastal security considerably.
The design of the boat is being carried out in-house by L&T at its state-of-the-art ship design center, a part of L&T 's Heavy Engineering Division. The boats are planned to be constructed at L&T's existing shipyard at Hazira, and at its new shipyard coming up at Katupalli near Ennore.
