Btw, isn't NGC supposed to be CODAD?
Is there are indication/confirmation that NGC could end up using the indigenous 6 MW diesels?
MoD inks Rs 425 crore contract for 12 sets of 1.25 MW Marine Gas Turbine Generators for Indian Navy
प्रविष्टि तिथि: 19 JUN 2026 5:26PM by PIB Delhi
The Ministry of Defence has signed a contract with Bharat Forge Limited, Pune for the acquisition of 12 sets of 1.25 MW Marine Gas Turbine Generators, with minimum 60% indigenous content, for the Indian Navy at a total cost of around Rs 425 crore. The contract was inked under Buy (Indian) category in the presence of Defence Secretary Shri Rajesh Kumar Singh in New Delhi on June 19, 2026.
The project reinforces the Government’s commitment to Aatmanirbhar Bharat and Make-in-India by creating a robust domestic manufacturing ecosystem. It would enhance maritime self-reliance in critical strategic technologies and bolster Indian Navy’s operational readiness through indigenous production & end-to-end life-cycle support.
The contract 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 1.25 MW GTG prototype is going into testing:
Bharat Forge wants to make larger 25+ MW MGTs. BF & BHEL will be our 2 MGT suppliers.
At last some foreign engine under screwdrivegiri model (by glorious OFB) will be procured.
Gas Turbine development is significant
Any further details on it?
Who is the R&D and industrial partner, power, timeline, or what ship it would be used from?
Didn't BHEL 100% indiginise Zorya engine? I assume we build upon it

For the Navy, the DAC cleared the design, development and subsequent procurement of a marine gas turbine in the 24-28 MW class, with the ministry saying the propulsion system "will reduce dependency on foreign vendors". India currently imports turbines for several frontline destroyers and frigates.
Sources said the programme is likely to go the Make-I route of the Defence Acquisition Procedure, under which the government funds indigenous design and development and can meet up to 70% of prototype cost. It could involve Rs 4,000-5,000 crore, with four prototypes planned and a minimum requirement of around 40 engines.

GRSE and Medha Join Forces to Boost Indigenous Technology
July 30, 2024
Medha has signed an MoU with Garden Reach Shipbuilders and Engineers (GRSE) for the joint production of advanced electrical and electronic systems for naval and commercial applications. This collaboration merges GRSE’s shipbuilding expertise with Medha’s proficiency in power electronics and electric propulsion to produce cutting-edge control and monitoring systems, efficient electrical propulsion, and Power Generation and Distribution (PGD) components.
Together, GRSE and Medha aim to deliver innovative solutions that meet the evolving demands of the maritime sector. This partnership represents a significant milestone for both organizations and is poised to support the growth of India’s shipbuilding industry.
1st product from this collaboration: Marine pod propulsion unit for ferries, cruise ships, and naval ships.
They are also making Marine Electric Thrusters, Marine Inverters etc.
