The state-run company's management said it expects its topline to grow between 14% and 15% during the current financial year. More importantly, it has guided for its revenue to double either by 2030 or 2031.

The company reported a positive set of earnings in the first quarter, despite sharp increases in subcontracting expenses and provisions from the previous year. Revenue for the quarter increased by 38% from last year to ₹977 crore, while its earnings before interest taxes depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) increased 28% to ₹234 crore.

Cochin Shipyard's order book declined 6% at the end of the June quarter to ₹21,100 crore from ₹22,500 crore during the same period last year.
