What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Sanjeev Sanyal, a member of the Economic Advisory Council, stated that India could become a credible fourth-largest shipbuilder over the next decade. Sanyal noted that India currently builds less than one percent of the world’s ships, but possesses the necessary ingredients, including being the world’s second-largest steel producer and having abundant labor and design capabilities.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The global shipbuilding market is currently highly concentrated among China, Korea, and Japan. India's potential growth could introduce significant competitive pressure into this established global industry. Sanyal suggested that India's existing capability to build complex vessels, such as aircraft carriers, provides a base for expanding into commercial shipbuilding.
