Mitsui E&S and TGE Marine engage Indian stakeholders to localise marine engines and strengthen shipbuilding capabilities.
Global marine engineering majors Mitsui E&S of Japan and Germany-based TGE Marine are exploring strategic partnerships with Indian stakeholders to strengthen engine supply capabilities for India’s expanding shipbuilding sector. The initiative aligns with India’s broader push to scale up domestic shipbuilding capacity and localise the manufacturing of critical marine propulsion and engine systems.
Mitsui E&S, part of a long-established Japanese engineering group, is in discussions with Indian shipyards, engineering firms and supply chain partners to deepen its footprint in India’s maritime manufacturing ecosystem. The company brings extensive global experience in marine engines, propulsion systems and heavy machinery, supplying high-power engines for a wide spectrum of commercial vessels worldwide.
TGE Marine is also engaging potential Indian partners to explore collaboration opportunities covering technology transfer, localisation of engine components and joint development of advanced marine power systems. These partnerships are expected to address both commercial and defence shipbuilding requirements, supporting India’s objective of building technologically advanced vessels within the country.
India’s shipbuilding industry has emerged as a strategic priority, backed by policy initiatives aimed at boosting indigenous manufacturing, reducing import dependence and developing a robust, end-to-end maritime supply chain. These measures are designed to encourage global technology providers to collaborate closely with Indian companies in vessel design, engineering and component manufacturing.
The proposed partnerships involving Mitsui E&S and TGE Marine are expected to enhance India’s ability to supply engines and propulsion technologies for a wide range of vessels, including cargo ships, tankers, offshore support vessels and naval platforms. By combining global engineering expertise with local manufacturing and engineering strengths, the collaborations could improve the competitiveness of Indian shipyards and advance India’s ambition to emerge as a significant hub in the global shipbuilding market.
