Swan Defence Set to Win Rs 1,897 Crore Order for Four Medium Range Tankers
Swan Defence and Heavy Industries Ltd is poised to secure a Rs 1,897 crore contract to build four dual-fuel ready Medium Range product tankers, marking the first locally built oil tankers in 25 years. The company, which resumed operations in 2024 under new management, offered a more competitive bid than Cochin Shipyard Ltd. This order, led by a joint venture of state-run firms including Shipping Corporation of India, will strengthen Swan Defence's order book amid India's efforts to revive domestic shipbuilding.
