"Over the past 60 years, the growth of SP Guide Publications has mirrored the rising stature of Indian Navy.

I wish SP's Publication team continued success, fair winds and following seas in all future endeavour!"

The Ministry of Defence has signed a contract with Bharat Forge Limited, Pune for the acquisition of 12 sets of 1.25 MW Marine Gas Turbine Generators, with minimum 60 per cent indigenous content, for the Indian Navy at a total cost of around ₹425 crore. The contract was inked under Buy (Indian) category in the presence of Defence Secretary Rajesh Kumar Singh in New Delhi on June 19, 2026.
The project reinforces the Government's commitment to Atmanirbhar Bharat and Make-in-India by creating a robust domestic manufacturing ecosystem. It would enhance maritime self-reliance in critical strategic technologies and bolster Indian Navy's operational readiness through indigenous production & end-to-end life-cycle support.
The contract marks a significant step towards establishing indigenous capability to manufacture marine gas turbine generators. The generator serves as a backbone of modern Naval combatants for power generation applications that power critical combat systems and advanced weapon & sensors.
