Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers Ltd, abbreviated as GRSE, is one of India's leading shipyards, located in Kolkata. It builds and repairs commercial and naval vessels. GRSE also builds export ships.

Founded in 1884 as a small privately-owned company on the eastern bank of the Hooghly River, it was renamed as Garden Reach Workshop in 1916. The company was nationalised by the Government of India in 1960. It was awarded the Miniratna status, with accompanying financial and operational autonomy in September 2006. It is first Indian shipyard to build 100 warships.

Facilities

GRSE has ship building facilities in Kolkata and a diesel engine plant in Ranchi.

It has a large Computer Aided Design (CAD) centre for ship modelling and design. There are four workshops for plate preparation and steel fabrication.

GRSE has a dry dock for ships up to Шаблон:DWT. It has a building berth and two slipways for hull construction. It has a covered all-weather non-tidal wet basin for fitting-out medium and small ships and another fitting-out complex for ships with three berths alongside. In addition, it has two river jetties for berthing smaller vessels up to Шаблон:Convert in length. GRSE has engine assemble, test, repair and overhaul facilities in Ranchi, which acquires 62acres of land.

On 1 July 2006, GRSE acquired the loss-making Rajabagan Dockyard (RBD) of Central Inland Water Transport Corporation (CIWTC). RBD's facilities with its Шаблон:Convert waterfront helped alleviate some of GRSE's space constraints and increase its production capacity.

As of 2011, the shipyard was undergoing a Шаблон:INRconvert upgrade programme, expected to be completed by March 2012. The second phase of the upgrade programme was scheduled to commence from June 2013.
