Cochin Shipyard is raring to build another indigenous Aircraft Carrier.

It has been 13 years in the making, with 500 companies involved, big, and small ..about 100 MSMEs.

The learnings are immense. Today, India is among just 5 or 6 countries which can build an Aircraft Carrier.

Built at a cost of Rs 20000 crores, it is 262 meters long, 62 meters wide and displaces 45000 tons.
* The technology for carrying, arming & recovering fighter aircraft.
* 15 decks
* Multispeciality Hospital
* 2300 compartments
* 8 gigantic power generators

What could have been built elsewhere in 10 years, took us 13 years. But we also shaved off 2 1/2 billion from the estimated 5 1/2 billion dollars it could have cost to build it elsewhere.
