ICICI Securities view on Cochin Shipyard
Cochin Shipyard 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, present major opportunity for Cochin Shipyard.
Additionally, the brokerage firm believes 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. 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 global ship-building market).
Analysts expect Cochin Shipyard to witness significant YoY growth in revenues & profitability over FY24-27E, led by execution pick-up in both the segments and increasing share of margin accretive ship-repair segment.
