The Ministry of Defence has signed a contract with Bharat Forge Limited, Pune for the acquisition of 12 sets of 1.25 MW Marine Gas Turbine Generators, with minimum 60% indigenous content, for the Indian Navy at a total cost of around Rs 425 crore. The contract was inked under Buy (Indian) category in the presence of Defence Secretary Shri Rajesh Kumar Singh in New Delhi on June 19, 2026.
The project reinforces the Government’s commitment to Aatmanirbhar Bharat and Make-in-India by creating a robust domestic manufacturing ecosystem. It would enhance maritime self-reliance in critical strategic technologies and bolster Indian Navy’s operational readiness through indigenous production & end-to-end life-cycle support.
The contract marks a significant step towards establishing indigenous capability to manufacture marine gas turbine generators. The generator serves as a backbone of modern Naval combatants for power generation applications that power critical combat systems and advanced weapon & sensors.
