Larsen & Toubro (L&T) has been awarded a contract by the Ministry of Defence for the design and construction of 36 high speed interceptor boats for the Indian Coast Guard. The contract is valued at Rs. 977 crore and is among one of the main initiatives being taken by the government to strengthen coastal security.
The interceptor boats will feature aluminium-alloy hull construction with water jet propulsion to enable quick response which is vital for such applications. The interceptors will also be able to operate effectively in shallow water that will be critical for near shore action.
The boats shall be designed in-house at the L&T`s Ship Design Centre, a part of its heavy engineering division. The boats are planned to be constructed at L&T`s existing shipyard at Hazira (in Gujarat) and at its new shipyard coming up at Katupalli near Ennore (in Tamil Nadu).
