Government of India had a shipbuilding subsidy scheme for Indian Shipyards which expired on 14.08.2007.The  shipbuilding subsidy scheme had provided subsidy for domestic orders of 80 m length and above which were obtained only on global tender basis. Export orders were also eligible for subsidy.

 

Government of India has approved a New Financial Assistance Policy for Indian Shipyards to provide a level playing field vis a vis foreign shipyards. Financial assistance @20% of the “Contract Price” or the “Fair Price” as determined by international valuers, whichever is lower, is to be applicable for shipbuilding contracts signed during the dated April 1, 2016 to March 31, 2026 including the said dates. The 20% financial assistance would be provided for ten years reducing @3% every 3 years.

 

This information was given by Minister of State for Shipping, Shri Pon. Radhakrishnan in a written reply to a question in the Lok Sabha today.
