New Delhi (22.06.2026): Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers Limited (GRSE) has become the 29th Central Public Sector Enterprise (CPSE) to be granted Navratna status which was approved by the Department of Public Enterprises (DPE), Ministry of Finance. The upgradation of GRSE to Navratna status was approved on June 19, 2026, recognizing company’s strong financial performance, operational excellence, and strategic importance in India’s defence manufacturing ecosystem.

The elevation places GRSE among an elite group of 29 Navratna CPSEs that enjoy enhanced financial and operational autonomy. The status empowers the company to undertake larger investments, establish joint ventures, enter strategic alliances, and execute expansion plans with greater flexibility and faster decision-making.

The recognition comes at a time when GRSE has demonstrated remarkable growth in revenue and profitability while strengthening its position as one of India’s leading defence shipbuilders. The company has played a crucial role in supporting the Indian Navy’s modernization efforts and advancing the Government’s vision of Atmanirbhar Bharat in defence production.

Over the years, GRSE has built more than 800 maritime platforms, delivered 118 warships to the Indian armed forces, and expanded its global footprint through export orders, including the construction of multi-purpose vessels for Germany.

Navratna PSUs are granted significant financial and operational autonomy. They can invest up to Rs 1,000 crore or 15% of their net worth on a single project without requiring central government’s approval. Boards can make large-scale capital investments without government permission. They have the freedom to establish financial joint ventures, wholly-owned subsidiaries, and form strategic alliances in domestic and global markets. They are also empowered to execute mergers and acquisitions up to the prescribed financial ceiling with authority to restructure internal operations and establish new offices.
