As per the news released, Titagarh Rail Systems, through its wholly owned subsidiary Titagarh Naval Systems Limited (TNSL), has been given principle nod from the Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways in relation to the brownfield development at Falta, West Bengal, based on the Ship Building Development Scheme (SbDS). It has been assessed that the brownfield development project would entail costs close to Rs. 610 crores, out of which assistance worth Rs. 129 crores from the government has been offered.
This approval was obtained based on the recommendation made by the 3rd Inter-Ministerial Governing Board of the National Shipbuilding Mission, indicating high-level governmental approval for the development of internationally acclaimed shipbuilding facilities in India.

The proposed shipyard capacity upgrade will be developed to build vessels for both defence and commercial use, along with meeting export requirements, and will thus be in line with the Make in India and Atmanirbhar Bharat policies of India.
