History
Cochin Shipyard was incorporated in 1972 as a Government of India company, with the first phase of facilities coming online in 1982.
In August 2012, the Government of India announced plans of divestment to raise capital of ₹15 billion for further expansion through an initial public offering (IPO) towards the end of the fiscal year.[6] The government finalised the decision of stake sale on 18 November 2015. 33.9 million shares will be sold, out of which the government is holding 113,000 shares while the others are fresh equity. However, this did not materialise until August 2017, when the company conducted its IPO and listed its shares on the BSE and NSE.[5]

The yard has facilities to build vessels up to 1,10,000 deadweight tonnage (DWT) and repair vessels up to 1,25,000 DWT.[7][8]
