Titagarh Naval Systems Limited (TNSL), a wholly owned subsidiary of Titagarh Rail Systems Limited, has launched the fourth Diving Support Craft A23 (YARD 328) for the Indian Navy. This vessel is part of a series of five DSCs being built under the Government of India’s Make in India initiative.
The launch ceremony, attended by around 150 employees, was graced by Mrs. Deepa Sivakumar, wife of Vice Admiral B Sivakumar, who performed the naming and launch into the Hooghly River at 14:55 Hrs on April 19, 2026.
These Diving Support Crafts are designed as catamaran-type vessels equipped with advanced, indigenously sourced systems to support the Indian Navy’s Command Clearance Diving Teams (CCDTs) in underwater operations such as inspection, repair, maintenance, and salvage activities.
Shri Umesh Chowdhary, Vice Chairman & Managing Director of Titagarh Rail Systems Limited, stated that the launch signifies steady progress in delivering specialized vessels and strengthening indigenous capabilities in defense manufacturing. Vice Admiral B Sivakumar highlighted the vessel's role in enhancing diving and underwater operations in coastal waters and commended the collaboration between the Indian Navy, the shipyard, and industry partners.
The launch underscores TNSL's role as the dedicated arm for shipbuilding and maritime systems following the strategic restructuring of Titagarh Rail Systems Limited. This move allows for a sharper focus on maritime growth and strengthens the new expansion at Falta, West Bengal, a 50-acre facility aimed at meeting national and international shipbuilding requirements.
Titagarh Naval Systems Limited is poised to mark a significant milestone with a state-of-the-art shipyard at Falta. The Board of Directors has approved the transfer of the shipbuilding and maritime systems business to TNSL, with an approximate order book of above ₹500 crore (including taxes). The new facility, built with advanced automation and Industry 4.0 standards, builds on TRSL’s legacy of delivering over 35 vessels and is engineered to handle ships up to 180 meters in length, with an annual capacity of 12-16 vessels. TNSL will continue existing projects, including the Diving Support Craft project, and is exploring partnerships for further expansion.
