Talking about the overall growth in this regard, about 90, 60 and 50 % of indigenous content has been achieved in the aspects of Float, Move and Fight categories, respectively, sources added.The float part includes Hull and its related fittings and components, Move includes the engine and whatever makes it move, Complete propulsions systems, associated machinery and auxiliaries. Fight, includes, sensors and weapons. The Indian Navy is now focussing its indigenisation efforts in the domains of propulsion, power generation, weapons and sensors.The Indigenisation Units (IUs) at Visakhapatnam for ENC & ANC; and at Mumbai for WNC under the umbrella of Centre for Indigenisation & Self Reliance (CISR) at Coimbatore lead the ‘bottom-up’ approach of Indigenisation, catering to the indigenisation needs of field units. CISR has also reached out to and engaged with more than 30 industries to map their capability for specific indigenisation needs.A dedicated indigenisation Roll-on Plan for 2023-26 is in force for progressing indigenisation of assembly, sub-assembly and components.Under the Year On Year Roll-on Plans, about 5000 items have been indigenised so far. The indigenisation roadmaps for the foreign-origin IN Ships Vikramaditya, Talwar Class frigates, P-75 Scorpene submarines and Deepak – class tankers are already in place and progressing to replace the foreign-origin equipment on these platforms with Indian-made equipment over the next few years.Combined with the sustained impetus on increasing the indigenous content in ships under construction; and the design and construction of ships within India, the shipbuilding industry is well poised to support the Indian Navy.
