'Nation is proud of you': Guv to GRSE on laying keels of two NGOPVs

In his address, the Governor hailed GRSE's capabilities in building modern, state-of-the-art warships.

"The Nation is proud of you. I can assure you that all 140 crore people of this country love you and stand by you. Thanks to efforts by shipbuilders like GRSE, India now matches the capabilities of companies involved in shipbuilding in countries like China, South Korea and Japan. India has the capability. India is powerful. We need to assert that we are capable. We need to assert that we are powerful," the Governor said.

GRSE is building four NGOPVs for the Indian Navy. According to chairman and managing director Cmde P.R. Hari, IN (Retd), though the keels of the first two vessels were ceremoniously laid during the day, work has already begun on all four.
