Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers Ltd (GRSE) has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Kalyani Strategic Systems Limited (KSSL) on March 5, 2026, to jointly develop and promote indigenous solutions for advanced naval systems and maritime technologies. According to the latest regulatory filing, the partnership aims to strengthen collaboration in developing strategic maritime capabilities for both domestic and global markets. The collaboration will focus on building indigenous solutions for advanced naval systems, unmanned platforms and other maritime defence technologies, working together across a wide spectrum of maritime and defence systems including ship propulsion and mechanical systems for naval and commercial vessels, integrated platform management systems, steering and stabiliser assemblies, and deck equipment. The partnership is expected to combine GRSE's extensive expertise in shipbuilding and maritime engineering with KSSL's capabilities as a leading defence OEM in the design and manufacture of advanced defence platforms and systems.
The partnership will explore opportunities in unmanned platforms such as unmanned surface vessels (USVs) and autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). According to Live Mint, the companies will jointly identify and pursue potential opportunities in India as well as in mutually agreed international markets. The collaboration seeks to combine GRSE's experience in shipbuilding and maritime engineering with KSSL's capabilities in designing and manufacturing advanced defence platforms and systems. This development comes at a time when naval combat incidents often prompt countries in the region to strengthen their maritime defence capabilities, with governments typically accelerating spending on assets such as warships, submarines, surveillance vessels and unmanned naval systems.
