A Strategic Collaboration for India's Maritime Growth

In a significant development for India's maritime infrastructure, Accurate Industrial Controls Pvt. Ltd. and KOMAC Automation Solutions have jointly submitted the sole bid for the much-anticipated Kandla Shipyard Project. This project, spearheaded by Deendayal Port Authority, is envisioned to enhance the country's shipbuilding and repair capabilities along the western coast.

Focus on Automation and Efficiency

This joint bid brings together two well-known industrial automation firms with a strong track record in delivering complex engineering and automation solutions. Accurate Industrial Controls, based in Pune, specializes in turnkey automation projects for sectors like power, oil & gas, and marine. KOMAC Automation, known for its innovative control systems, complements the collaboration with its expertise in PLC/SCADA solutions and shipyard automation.

Their combined bid reflects a strong intent to bring cutting-edge automation, quality control, and project execution to the Kandla shipyard—aiming to reduce manual intervention and improve turnaround times for ship repair and maintenance.

Why This Project Matters

The Kandla Shipyard Project is part of a broader government initiative under the Sagarmala Programme, focusing on port-led development. With increasing cargo traffic at Deendayal Port and the strategic location of Kandla on the Arabian Sea, a modern shipyard facility is essential to support the growing maritime trade and offshore operations.

A robust ship repair ecosystem at Kandla will reduce dependency on distant shipyards and cut down time and cost for shipowners and operators. The proposed facility is also expected to create employment opportunities and support ancillary industries in the region.

Unopposed Bid – A Unique Scenario

What makes this development particularly interesting is that Accurate Industrial Controls and KOMAC’s bid is the only one submitted for this project. While this may fast-track the evaluation process, it also puts the spotlight on the capabilities and credibility of the bidding consortium. With no competition, the authorities will focus even more critically on assessing the technical and financial strengths of the proposal.

Looking Ahead

If awarded, this project would mark a landmark achievement for both Accurate Industrial Controls and KOMAC Automation, establishing them as key players in India's maritime infrastructure landscape. The outcome of this bid will be watched closely by industry stakeholders, as it sets the tone for future public-private partnerships in the port and shipping sector.
