GEE Limited served as the exclusive supplier of welding consumables for the historic tri-commissioning of three indigenous warships by the Indian Navy on June 21, 2026. The ceremony, held in Kolkata, was presided over by Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi and marked the induction of INS Dunagiri, INS Agray, and INS Sanshodhak into the naval fleet. This event represents a significant step in India's defence manufacturing self-reliance, with the vessels featuring local content exceeding 75%.
The warships were designed by the Indian Navy’s Warship Design Bureau and constructed by Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers Ltd. (GRSE). GEE Limited’s role as the sole welding consumables supplier was critical to ensuring the fabrication standards and structural integrity of these frontline naval assets. The company continues to invest in advanced welding technologies and R&D to support the defence sector.

| INS Agray | Arnala-class Anti-Submarine Warfare Shallow Water Craft | Specialized in littoral operations and submarine hunting |

Commenting on the development, Mr. Umesh Agrawal, Joint Managing Director, GEE Limited, said, “We are deeply honoured to be the trusted welding partner for this landmark triple commissioning... Supplying critical welding consumables for three diverse naval platforms simultaneously underscores GEE’s technical expertise, consistent quality, and reliability in supporting India’s strategic defence programmes.”
