Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders Ltd (MDSS) announced that it has entered into a contract valued at roughly ₹15,000 crore to establish a new shipyard in the state of Andhra Pradesh.
The agreement, concluded with the Andhra Pradesh authorities, calls for the creation of a modern shipbuilding and repair facility that will enhance India's domestic maritime defence capabilities.

The shipyard is slated to become operational in the coming years, marking a significant addition to the country's naval infrastructure.
