COCHIN: Shipbuilder Cochin
Shipyard Ltd has established a joint venture company with compatriot
shipbuilder Hooghly Dock & Port Engineers Limited.
The joint venture named Hooghly Cochin Shipyard Limited was set up
on Monday, October 23, according to a regulatory filing from Cochin.
The formation of the JV follows a green light from the Country’s
Ministry of Shipping in March this year.
As disclosed, the new company aims to modernize shipbuilding infrastructure
at the two shipyard sites of Salkia and Nazirgunge in Kolkata.
Cochin Shipyard and Hooghly Dock & Port Engineers Limited will
have 76% and 24% stake in the company respectively.
In September, reports emerged on Cochin’s expansion plans in Andaman
and Nicobar, Gujarat, Kolkata and Mumbai, where new facilities are expected to
be set up.
The plans were revealed by Nitin Gadkari, Minister for Road
Transport, Highways and Shipping, on the back of the shipbuilder’s initial
public offering (IPO), through which Cochin Shipyard raised INR 14.4 billion
(USD 224.8 million).
As informed earlier, Cochin intends to use the proceeds to partly
fund two expansion projects costing up to INR 28 billion (USD 436.3 million).
