GRSE’s improved performance can be attributed to the further progress of the P-17 Alpha Project in line with the stipulated delivery guidelines in this quarter. The contributing factor included further streamlining of treasury management which resulted in higher collections from stage payments. This quarter also saw GRSE’s Engine Division getting revenues for overhauling of engines for two naval ships. The increase in “other income” is attributed to settlement of an old case with Central Coalfields Ltd. Ranchi. Furthermore the company benefitted from lower tax expenses due to lower tax rate of 25.17% resulting in further enhancing the profits and margins.

The order book position of the company as on September 30, 2019 was around Rs 27, 400 crore. Under this there are a total of 22 warships under construction. GRSE will deliver seven ships against three projects in this financial year. GRSE has at this point of time six projects that are under way viz., five projects of the Indian Navy and one of the Indian Coast Guard.

GRSE is aggressively bidding for the new request for proposals (RFP) that have been issued by MoD. GRSE has responded to the RFPs for two in number Pollution Control Vessels (PCVs) and eight Fast Patrol Vessels (FPVs) for Indian Coast Guard. GRSE is also building 05 FPVs for Indian Coast Guard of which first ship is delivered and second is being delivered in Nov 19. GRSE is also preparing response to RFPs for construction of 12 Air-Cushion Vehicles (ACVs) for Indian Coast Guard & Indian Army and the major project for construction of six New Generation Missile Vessels (NGMVs) for Indian Navy.
