DGMA Participates in 'PARIVARTAN 2026' to Advance Maritime Indigenisation and Strengthen India’s Shipbuilding Supply Chain

DGMA Participates in 'PARIVARTAN 2026' to  Advance Maritime Indigenisation and Strengthen India’s Shipbuilding Supply Chain

The Directorate General of Maritime Administration (DGMA) participated in PARIVARTAN 2026 – Marine Valves & Pumps Indigenisation Conclave, organised by Cochin Shipyard Limited (CSL) under the aegis of the Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways, at Coimbatore.

DGMA was represented by Shri Ravi Kumar Moka, Ship Surveyor-cum-Deputy Director General (Technical), who joined representatives from shipyards, classification societies, the Indian Navy, industry associations and leading manufacturers from across the country.

🔹 Focus: Indigenisation of marine valves, pumps and allied equipment — critical building blocks of the shipbuilding value chain
🔹 Key discussions: Demand aggregation through Government maritime projects, challenges faced by domestic manufacturers, and policy measures needed for an enabling ecosystem
🔹Emphasis areas: Supply chain resilience, technology adoption, certification & standardisation, and greater participation of Indian manufacturers in future shipbuilding programmes

The conclave reinforced the need for closer collaboration between industry, regulators, shipyards, classification societies and technology providers to build a self-reliant maritime manufacturing base.

These deliberations align with the Maritime Amrit Kaal Vision (MAKV) 2047 — India's roadmap to becoming a Top 5 Shipbuilding Nation globally — and with the broader vision of Atmanirbhar Bharat through greater domestic value addition.

As India's apex maritime administration, DGMA remains committed to strengthening indigenous manufacturing and enabling a competitive, self-reliant maritime sector
