Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers Limited (GRSE), renowned for its shipbuilding prowess, has emerged as a dominant force in another critical domain: the manufacturing of Bailey Type Portable Steel Bridges.
With a commanding market share of over 60% in India, GRSE has supplied over 5400 of these modular bridges to date. These bridges, known for their durability, ease of assembly, and reliability, have found extensive use in India’s challenging terrains, especially in border areas. The Indian Army and Border Roads Organisation (BRO) are the primary consumers of these bridges, relying on them for crucial infrastructure in remote and hostile environments.
GRSE’s contribution extends beyond mere infrastructure. These bridges have proven invaluable during disaster relief operations. The company has ramped up production to ensure a steady supply, ready to meet the nation’s needs in times of crisis.
A senior GRSE official expressed pride in the company’s role in supporting the nation during emergencies, stating, “Bailey bridges have been indispensable in disaster-hit areas, and we are committed to meeting the growing demand for these vital structures.”
GRSE’s success in this sector underscores its versatility as a defense and infrastructure provider, making it a cornerstone of India’s preparedness for both peacetime development and emergency response.
