Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders is building India’s largest floating dry dock at NHAVA SHEVA FREEPORT TERMINAL near Mumbai as part of a ?5,000 crore expansion plan to handle larger ships, including next-generation destroyers. The ?475 crore dock, built in 6 blocks, will be operational by year-end, enabling the construction of 8 large ships simultaneously.

The facility aims to double capacity and cater to Indian Navy, Coast Guard, export and commercial ship orders.

The Nhava facility is expected to become operational by year-end, with the capacity to dock vessels weighing up to 12,800 tons. It will support the construction of large ships, including next-generation destroyers and repair vessels, and can handle up to eight ships simultaneously. In a separate development, Mazagon Dock plans to build a combined shipbuilding and repair facility on a 15-acre plot adjacent to its current yard, leased from the Mumbai Port Authority. The company intends to construct a graving dry dock measuring approximately 180 meters in length and 60 meters in width, along with ancillary facilities capable of supporting both shipbuilding and repairs. Currently, its existing yard accommodates 11 submarines and 10 warships simultaneously.
