What's behind the rally in Cochin Shipyard share?
The Central and State Governments are working with various stakeholders to promote shipbuilding and ship repair, in line with the Government of India's Maritime India Vision (MIV) 2030 and Maritime Amrit Kaal Vision (MAKV) 2047.
According to media reports, HD Hyundai & Cochin Shipyard is in talks for a ₹10,000-crore project.
On clarification on news reports on Wednesday, May 14, 2025, after market hours Cochin Shipyard said that the company is also evaluating strategic possibilities with multiple entities which are at various stages. However, at this stage, there is no material event/ information that requires disclosure, the company said.
Meanwhile, in February 2025, Cochin Shipyard has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with A.P. Moller – Maersk to explore collaboration opportunities in ship repair, maintenance, and shipbuilding in India.
This aligns with the Government of India's Vision 2047 maritime objectives and recent Union Budget 2025-26 announcements to position India among the top global maritime hubs. ALSO READ |
9MFY25 financial performance
For April to December period of the financial year 2024-25 (9MFY25), Cochin Shipyard's revenue is up 20.4 per cent year-on-year (YoY) to ₹3062.3 crore, as ship-repair revenue is up 45.7 per cent YoY while ship-building revenue is up 10.6 per cent YoY.
During 9MFY25, execution in the ship-building segment (66 per cent of total) has been moderated (revenue grew 11 per cent YoY) while the execution in ship-repair segment remained strong (revenue grew 46 per cent YoY). With strong order backlog (estimated at ₹22,000 crore; ~5x trailing twelve months revenue) and pick-up in execution, we expect revenue growth to remain healthy in the coming period.
ICICI Securities view on Cochin Shipyard
The company is well positioned to benefit from significant order inflows in both defence and commercial shipbuilding, supported by a strong pipeline. The Indian Navy's plans to acquire warships, including an estimated ₹40,000 crore aircraft carrier, presents a major opportunity for Cochin Shipyard.
Additionally, analysts believe that the government's strong focus on improving India's maritime infrastructure will create significant opportunities in commercial ship-building across cargo and passenger segments. The government aspires to position India among the world's top five shipbuilding nations (currently India's position stands at 22 with less than 1 per cent share in the global ship-building market).

Furthermore, talks have begun with leading shipbuilders from South Korea and Japan to promote collaboration and enhance production capabilities in India. Europe also plans to replace its 2,500 vessels with green vessels, creating substantial demand for exports. The ship repair sector also shows promise, bolstered by the company's capabilities and government support. Recently, the company signed a MoU with AP Moller – Maersk to enhance ship maintenance, explore repair, construction opportunities. However, currently, the stock is trading above the brokerage firm's target price of ₹1,700 per share.

NSE discusses with diplomats on contribution of capital markets towards Viksit Bharat
Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], June 9 (ANI): India's capital market is positioning itself as a global benchmark to drive economic diplomacy and investor confidence. In an exclusive interaction between the diplomatic community and the National Stock Exchange of India (NSE), Ashish Kumar Chauhan, MD & CEO of NSE says 'Interacting with the heads of missions in Delhi underscores our commitment to positioning India's capital markets as a global benchmark, driving economic diplomacy and investor confidence.' Chauhan added, 'India's market capitalisation has increased over 6 times in 11 years from Rs. 74 lakh crores, i.e., USD 1.2 trn as of May 2014 to about Rs. 450 lakh crores i.e., USD 5.2 trn today.' Organised by the Foundation for Public Awareness and Policy (FPAP), the event marked an important milestone in presenting India's capital market strength to the world, with diplomats expressing strong interest in India's economic journey and its potential for global investment. Focussed on the theme 'Road to Viksit Bharat: Contribution of Capital Markets', the deliberations emphasise the role of India's financial markets in achieving the vision of a developed India by 2047 as outlined by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The session brought together several heads of foreign missions in Delhi and was attended by Dr Vijay Chauthaiwale, Vice Chairman and Trustee of FPAP and a noted scientist, who hosted and moderated the discussion, with Dr Anirban Ganguly, Chairman of FPAP. The aim of the interaction was to foster stronger global partnerships by creating a platform for meaningful dialogue between India's financial leadership and the diplomatic community. As NSE is at the core of India's financial system, the session offered foreign dignitaries a comprehensive understanding of how capital markets play a key role in India's economic growth and development ambitions. Participants explored topics such as India's financial reforms, market strength, and the evolving role of technology in the financial sector. The informal format of the discussion allowed candid exchanges on investment opportunities, regulatory frameworks, and India's efforts in sustainable finance and financial inclusion. Speaking on the occasion, Dr Vijay Chauthaiwale said, 'At the FPAP, our dialogues with the heads of missions in Delhi strengthen India's global partnerships. Such interactions amplify public awareness and enable the shaping of policies that aid India's growth trajectory. Economic growth is fundamental to attaining the goal of Viksit Bharat by 2047 as envisioned by our Hon'ble Prime Minister, Narendra Modi. To this effect, the role of the National Stock Exchange (NSE) is vital.' FPAP plans to organise similar interactions regularly, strengthening India's outreach and showcasing its financial ecosystem to a global audience. (ANI)

Shares of Eternal, Swiggy drop as Rapido undercuts food delivery commission
Shares of Zomato parent Eternal and its rival Swiggy dropped as much as 2.5% and 4% on Monday following an ET report that Rapido is planning to launch its food delivery services this month by charging significantly lower commissions to restaurants than the two large players. Eternal shares closed 1.9% lower on the BSE at Rs 256.99 per share, after hitting an intraday low of Rs 255.35. Swiggy ended the day's trade 2.8% lower at Rs 364 a share, falling to Rs 360.10 apiece earlier in the day. The benchmark Sensex closed 0.31% higher at 82,445.21. According to the agreed-upon terms with the industry body National Restaurants Association of India (NRAI), Rapido will charge a flat commission of Rs 25 for all orders below Rs 400 and Rs 50 for orders worth more than Rs 400. This translates to 8–15% commission from restaurants, compared to 16–30% that Zomato and Swiggy charge, as ET reported. Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The Top 25 Most Beautiful Women In The World Articles Vally Undo Rapido's food delivery launch comes at a time when restaurants have been increasingly flagging issues of 'steep charges' levied by Zomato and Swiggy. "Zomato is becoming unsustainable for small restaurant owners like us," Vandit Malik, founder of The Garlic Bread, wrote on LinkedIn three weeks back. "To even be visible on the platform, I'm forced to spend Rs 30+ per order on ads. What's left? Pennies. Sometimes, not even that," he alleged. The owners of another NCR-based small restaurant, Saffroma, wrote on X last week, which went viral, that it was quitting Zomato, alleging "zero payouts, mystery service charges and advertisements initiated without approval." The post has since been deleted.

Platforms had penetrated only about 11% of the country's total food consumption in 2023, compared with 40% in China and 58% in the US, it said. In a note dated June 2, brokerage firm Morgan Stanley said that online food delivery penetration in India is still in the early stages at around 14% against the 19-21% range for markets such as the US and China, "implying a long runway for growth'. It kept its target price for Eternal's stock at Rs 320 per share, implying a potential upside of 24.5% from the stock's current price. Initiating coverage on Swiggy earlier this month, the brokerage firm pegged its target price for the stock at Rs 405 per share, marking a potential upside of 11.3%. Swiggy's food marketplace CEO Rohit Kapoor, in an interview with ET this month, said that there was a need for a greater level of dialogue between restaurants and aggregators over issues such as platform commissions, but pointed out that the architecture of economics has changed over time. Swiggy is an investor in Rapido.
