The Ministry of Defence on Friday signed a contract with Bharat Forge Limited for the acquisition of 12 sets of 1.25 MW Marine Gas Turbine Generators, with minimum 60 per cent indigenous content, for the Indian Navy. The deal is valued at around Rs ₹425 crore.

The Ministry of Defence said that the contract would enhance maritime self-reliance in critical strategic technologies and bolster Indian Navy’s operational readiness through indigenous production and end-to-end life-cycle support.

It 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.

The contract was inked under Buy (Indian) category in the presence of Defence Secretary Rajesh Kumar Singh in New Delhi. The project reinforces the government’s commitment to Aatmanirbhar Bharat and Make-in-India by creating a robust domestic manufacturing ecosystem.
