Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders' Order Book May Expand with Pending Major Defence Contracts
Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders (MDL) could see its order book expand nearly 14 times to around Rs 2.9 lakh crore, driven by major defence programmes including the P-75I submarine project valued at approximately Rs 90,000 crore. Other significant orders include the QRSAM missile system and Next-Generation Corvette programme. While contractual negotiations for these projects are reportedly complete, final approvals from the Cabinet Committee on Security are awaited, which will determine the timing and scale of these defence procurements.
