Commenting on the Said Shipyard land Acquisition, Mr. Sujay Kewalramani, CEO of Knowledge Marine & Engineering Works Ltd said that,

"This shipyard land is not merely an acquisition; it is the dawn of a new maritime chapter for KMEW Group. With a strategically located waterfront near Vadhvan Port and a natural slipway that offers inherent operational excellence, we are laying the foundation for India's next great shipbuilding hub. Our phased expansion — from specialized workboats and tugs in Phase I, to integrated repair facilities and floating dry docks in Phase II, and finally to large-scale vessels in Phase III — reflects a carefully sequenced journey of scale, innovation, and resilience.

We are building more than ships; we are building a self-sustaining maritime engine that will serve as a beacon of India's shipbuilding renaissance. Supported by India's amenities, advanced fabrication capacity, and a people-centric environment, this facility will deliver end-to-end solutions across the vessel lifecycle.

Aligned with the Government of India's vision under Maritime India 2030 and Amrit Kaal 2047, our shipyard positions KMEW to contribute meaningfully to national self-reliance, green transition, and global competitiveness. We see this not only as an investment in infrastructure but as an investment in India's maritime destiny — a future where our shipyard stands as a gateway to innovation, sustainability, and leadership on the world stage."
