At Swan Defence and Heavy Industries Limited (SDHI), we offer more than just scale - we provide an integrated, technologically advanced maritime and heavy engineering ecosystem designed to meet your most demanding challenges.
Situated on India’s west coast in Gujarat, our shipyard spans 600+ acres and is located along the Arabian Sea and key international trade routes, offering multi-modal connectivity by sea, air, rail, and road. With India’s largest dry dock (662 m × 65 m) and an unmatched annual steel fabrication capacity of 164,000 T, our infrastructure is built for large-scale and complex projects with precision.
Backed by a strong network of global partners, OEMs and affiliates, we integrate innovation and collaboration to deliver transformative solutions that contribute to sustainable industrial growth and strengthen India’s position as a global maritime hub.
We design and build a diverse range of commercial vessels - from bulkers, tankers, cargo ships, to offshore support vessels - with precision engineering, advanced technology, and global compliance standards. Our focus is on delivering performance-driven, sustainable, and cost-efficient ships that strengthen global maritime trade.
Our heavy fabrication division caters to complex engineering needs across sectors, such as offshore energy and renewable infrastructure. With cutting-edge machinery and a skilled workforce, we manufacture large-scale, high-precision steel structures built to meet industry standards.
As a strategic catalyst for port modernization, SDHI equips global maritime and land gateways with high-performance cargo-handling infrastructure. By integrating specialized Yellow Goods and advanced bulk handling systems, we enable operators to manage escalating trade volumes with absolute precision, delivering the operational throughput and systemic control necessary for modern supply chains.
Through a strategic joint venture between SDHI and US-based Varex Imaging, we are developing advanced port infrastructure that redefines efficiency, safety, and operational visibility across port operations. This collaboration aims to build next-generation port systems that support maritime logistics and global trade growth.
Expansive maritime infrastructure for newbuilds, ship repairs & refits, offshore fabrication & heavy engineering.
Unrivalled dry dock capacity to accommodate commercial and defence vessels up to 400,000 DWT.
Impressive throughput of 164,000 MT of steel fabrication per annum.
Along with a wet basin 340 m x 60 m to support berthing, docking, and launching of vessels.
Equipped with fabrication, erection, and load out of offshore structures, cranes & heavy engineering modules.
Global compliance is the baseline of our services
