India currently ranks 20th in the global shipbuilding industry with its 0.06% share in the global shipbuilding market. The global market is dominated by China, South Korea and Japan, which collectively have 85% of the share in the market. In terms of vessel delivery volume, newbuilding orders and orderbook, China's global market share accounted for 55%, 74.7% and 58.9%, respectively in the first half of this year, according to statistics from BRS. These Indian dreamers are now talking of India toppling Chinese shipbuilding industry, as in anything else, they always want to compare and compete with China no matter what, lol.

This is a saying particularly relevant for India as it aims to realise its shipbuilding ambitions. With top shipbuilding nations like China, Japan and South Korea fully booked until 2028, the global shipping industry is searching for new alternatives. This is where India comes into the picture, having a unique opportunity to rise as a top shipbuilding destination.

While it currently ranks 20th in the world commercial shipbuilding market, India aims to rank among the top 10 shipbuilders by 2030. But what makes this journey so promising, and what are the rough seas we need to navigate? Let’s dive in.

India’s shipbuilding ambitions: Where are we now and what to do next?

To truly build a robust manufacturing base, we need to proactively address these challenges with strategic interventions and collaborative effort.

Are you kidding ? China has built 3 aircraft carriers on its own so far, one with EM catapults, the only other country has such tech is the US.

might be, i didn't know.....

Im little late on forums, i used to visit forums a lot during 2006 - 2007 and then now Im starting
i remember, only Ukraine's Aircraft Carrier, the China could get. and i would say that it was poorer AC to INS Vikramaditya Aircraft Carrier of India.....

the Russian defence industry, including the Shipping one, has a huge contribution of Indian Engineers/Scientists. India has experience of involvement with Soviet Unions Aircraft Carriers and its other defence industries, as they were helped by Indian engineers/scientists

i would say, as i have read, China's story start since early 90s only. they could 'clone' Su27, by 90s, and it was the time when they could enter field of Aircrafts building-Shipbuilding.......

China is too new in world as compared to history of India-Russia/SU combined

. = data not available or not applicable; [ ] = estimated figure; GDP = gross domestic product.a Rankings for 2021 are based on updated military expenditure figures in the current edition of the SIPRI Military Expenditure Database. They may therefore differ from the rankings for 2021 given in SIPRI Yearbook 2022 and in other SIPRI publications released in 2022. b The figures for military expenditure as a share of GDP are based on estimates of 2022 GDP from the International Monetary Fund World Economic Outlook and International Financial Statistics databases.Sources: SIPRI Military Expenditure Database, Apr. 2023; International Monetary Fund, World Economic Outlook Database, Oct. 2022; and International Monetary Fund, International Financial Statistics Database, Sep. 2022

=> THE WORLD’S LARGEST MILITARY SPENDERS IN 2022The 15 largest spenders in 2022 together accounted for 82 per cent of world military expenditure, or $1842 billion (see table 1). There were some notable changes in ranking among the top 15 between 2021 and 2022, which were largely attributable to the war in Ukraine that started in February 2022. Russia, for example, increased its spending by an estimated 9.2 per cent to move from fifth to third largest spender in the world in 2022, while Ukraine entered the top 15 for the first time (at rank 11) after a 640 per cent increase in its military expenditure. Other notable changes among the top 15 included Saudi Arabia moving from eighth to fifth largest spender, ahead of the United Kingdom, Germany and France.
The United States (accounting for 39 per cent of world military spending in 2022) and China (13 per cent) remained the two largest spenders, with Russia (3.9 per cent), India (3.6 per cent) and Saudi Arabia (3.3 per cent) completing the top five (see figure 2). Together, these five countries accounted for 63 per cent of total global military spending in 2022.Six countries in the top 15 increased their military burdens—that is, military expenditure as a share of gross domestic product (GDP)—in 2022: France, Germany, Japan, Russia, Ukraine and the UK. At 34 per cent of GDP in 2022, Ukraine’s military burden was by far the largest of any country in the world. The 30 percentage point growth in Ukraine’s military burden was the result of a sharp contraction in its economy coupled with a more than sixfold increase in its military spending.

India is 4th country and still they cannot take on Pakistan conventionally. Pakistani airforce with its budget compared to Indian one did a much better job.

India is a joke honestly

 

[ST1976]

Lol, China built J 6, J 7, J 8 and J 11 fighters before 1990s. What fighters has India built on its own in that time frame ?

I have news, almost all the defence Industry of Russia was helped by India since Cold War time
the US-NATO didn't let India giving name to Migs-Sukhoi's. India could only let Russia/SU have those industries .....

26, scuse the typo

.
=>

I find Rafael is too expansive with less credibilities. It's Air superiority characteristics are poorer to even Mig35....
We have report that Rafale will not be able to replace Su30 stealth for nuclear weapons operations. Su30 stealth successfully win in air, can cross border of Pakistan-china as needed.....
If Rafale are sent to cross border then they are less chance to survive. They won't back even if cross border. This way Rafale is supposed to be mainly used within Indian territory
Hence I would favour LCA MK1 to be in more number in place of Rafale

.
=>

I have read it's the "stealth upgrade" of Su30mki ..
It's also called "Super Sukhoi" version of Su30mki...

.
=>

The way we find that 'Super Sukhoi' Su30 is continued to be used for nuclear weapons operations, Rafale didn't fulfill the expectations. During last century, the Mirage2000h was used for the purpose.....
Using Rafale within Indian territory is very sad. Rafale must be proved to useful to cross border of China - Pakistani

.

sure Su57 is faster can fly higher and more agile than rafale but then rafale has still something that niether super sukhoi or su57 or LCA can bring to war and thats what this expensive frenchie brings

its like even though Russian Vodka is more potent and gives you better time with women you still like to flaunt your prestige with a bottle of pink champane

I like LCA mk1. its mainly to be used in place of Mig21s, for the operations/needs within Indian territory.
LCA mk1 is proved to be more useful than MIrage2000h and could be able to match with Mirage2000-5 version also
its as good as Mirage/Rafale for Air Superiority operations and can be used for operations in outer territory also, in tough time

Yup, small combat radius means it will mostly be in a interceptor role, point defence or small cross border ops, not deep interdiction for SEAD/DEAD etc.. for which we have twin engine long legs Sukhois, Rafales and Mig 29 UPGs

Rafale isn't selected for nuclear weapon operation yet. they couldn't replace SU30mkis......

we still find 'Super Sukhoi' Su30mki as our 'Top Gun'

 

[Sharma Ji]

I believe the Mirages are assigned that role ?

Those weapons can also be delivered from stand off ranges. or by nirbhay cm, air, sea, or sl launched, or via good ol' ballistic missiles.

 

[Pingle]

You are seriously underestimating rafales..... believe me Rafale with spectra warfare suit, aesa radar and Meteor missile is a big threat to Flankers or any fighter jets.....

Mirage2000h was assigned for Nuclear Operation role by last century .....

we find "Air to ground" operation of Air Superiority 'Super Sukhois' is also of very competent level. they match with our Mig29SMT or to be comparable to Mig29k also in A2G comparisons....

we find there is less resistance to Pakistan-China if 'Super Sukhoi's' cross international border. and they are very competent in coming back after to Indian territory also, after the required operation in opponent territories.

Rafale is quite better in "Air to Ground" competencies but they would be used within Indian territory only

 

[ST1976]

Rafale have to be proved for Nuclear Operation needs on opponent's territory, they have to be used as "Top Gun" to replace 'Super Sukhoi's' SU30mki....

here, I would select low priced Mig35s in place of Rafale
