- Taking a significant stride within India's defense and aerospace sectors, Bharat Forge entered into a pivotal agreement with the Government of Andhra Pradesh on May 19, 2026.
- Under this agreement, the country's first private-sector-led Marine Gas Turbine Repair and Overhaul Complex will be established in Visakhapatnam.
- This state-of-the-art project will be developed across an area of approximately 80 acres and will be strategically located in close proximity to the Eastern Naval Command Headquarters Dockyard and INS Ecsila.

- These systems are utilized in warships and high-speed naval craft.
- The objective of this project is not limited merely to repair and overhaul services, but also aims to foster the development of indigenous technology in the future.
- This initiative will lend fresh impetus to India's defense self-reliance and the "Make in India" campaign.
