Shipbuilding Milestone: L&T lays keel for first ship

Larsen & Toubro Limited (L&T) laid the keel for the first ship within 17 weeks of commencing operations at its shipbuilding yard in Hazira, near Surat. A 180-tonne keel block – the heaviest ever by an Indian shipyard – was ceremonially placed on the erection bay at L&T Hazira Shipyard.
