Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers Ltd, abbreviated as GRSE, is an Indian defence shipyard, located in Kolkata. It builds and repairs commercial and naval vessels. GRSE also exports the ships that the company builds.
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. GRSE was nationalised by the Government of India in 1960. The company was awarded the Miniratna public sector undertaking status, with accompanying financial and operational autonomy in September 2006. GRSE is the first Indian shipyard to build 100 warships.
In January 2026, the Department of Defence Production, Ministry of Defence, forwarded a proposal to the Department of Public Enterprises (DPE), Ministry of Finance, seeking an upgrad of GRSE's PSU status to Navratna. The proposal was approved by an inter-ministerial committee in the second week of February and would be placed before an apex committee for final approval.
