What was filed
Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers (GRSE) disclosed that it has received a Letter of Intent (LOI) from Syama Prasad Mookerjee Port to construct one '15 T Bollard Pull Electric Battery Propulsion Tug', including installation of shore charging infrastructure for KDS, SMPA. The company said the LOI was received on 03 August 2026 and that the stated value is inclusive of GST and taxes.
Why it matters to a holder
This is a single-vessel order for a battery-propulsion harbour tug rather than a large fleet programme, so its direct financial weight is modest relative to a defence shipbuilder's typical order book. Its notable feature is the scope: an electric tug paired with shore charging infrastructure, showing GRSE working in the electric-propulsion segment for a port authority. The filing does not disclose a delivery timeline or any commercial terms beyond the total contract value.
