Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers Limited (GRSE)

The Company came into being in 1884 as a small factory on the Eastern Bank of the river Hooghly. It was renamed Garden Reach Workshop in 1916, and was incorporated as a Company under the Indian Companies Act of 1913 with effect from 26th February 1934 (Registration No. 7891 of 1933-34). The company was taken over by the Government of India on 1st April, 1960.

The Company was put on a dynamic path of growth and diversification and to reflect its multifarious activities in a true sense, the Company's name was changed to Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers Limited with effect from 31st December 1976. GRSE has gradually expanded and modernised to meet growing maritime needs- particularly those of Indian Navy and Coast Guard.

It builds  a wide range of ships from modern Warships to sophisticated Commercial Vessels, from small Harbour Craft to fast and powerful Patrol Vessels. It is among the few shipyards in the world with its own Engineering and Engine Manufacturing divisions. Growing on its solid base of experience of over a 100 years of excellence, GRSE looks confidently ahead to the challenges of the new millennium.
