Business Line reported that L&T has delivered its first indigenously designed and constructed high speed interceptor boat to the Indian Coast Guard.
Capable of achieving a maximum speed over 40 knots, the boat was designed and constructed entirely through in house efforts. This is the first of 36 such craft being constructed by L&T under a Coast Guard contract worth INR 977 crore. The vessel has a full aluminium alloy body for reduced weight and is powered by twin water jet propulsion systems to enable quick response, vital for coastal surveillance.
In June this year, engineering and construction major L&T had partnered with TATA Power and HCL in a Defense deal worth INR 10,000 crore.
