Indian Shipbuilders Adopt Modular Construction for Warship Production
What happened
Indian shipyards, including Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders, Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers, and Cochin Shipyard, are adopting modular construction techniques. This process involves building major ship parts into large blocks, which can weigh up to 250 tonnes. These blocks are then fitted out and assembled in the main area, allowing the ship to be constructed via an assembly line.

Why it matters
This shift is noted as a revolution in India’s shipbuilding industry. The use of modular construction and computer-aided design helps reduce clashes between components and allows for quicker construction of increasingly complex warships. This change is expected to boost the domestic defence industry.
