The share price of INS Vikrant maker, Cochin Shipyard Limited (CSL), has jumped nearly 12% as of 2:51 PM on June 5, 2025. This sharp up-move in the stock price has driven it to a 10-month high, reflecting strong investor confidence in CSL’s growing capabilities in the defence sector, particularly following the successful completion of India's first indigenously built aircraft carrier, INS Vikrant.
Cochin Shipyard’s share price has shown remarkable growth in 2025. As of June 5, 2025, the CSL share price has surged by nearly 12%, marking a 10-month high. The company’s share price is up by 19% in June alone, and on a year-to-date (YTD) basis, the stock has increased by 50%. These impressive gains can be attributed to CSL’s expanding order book, strong international orders, and its growing position in the defence and offshore sectors.
Cochin Shipyard has earned a reputation for building and repairing some of the largest ships in India, including aircraft carriers, cargo vessels, and technology demonstration vessels. The company is also known for its ability to repair all types of ships, ranging from commercial cargo ships to naval and coast guard vessels.
In recent years, CSL has expanded its portfolio by securing orders for next-generation missile vessels and various service operation vessels. These vessels are essential for military and offshore operations, highlighting CSL’s growing role in the global shipbuilding and defence sectors.
A major development for CSL is its receipt of an international export order for 2 commissioning service operation vessels from a European client. This is the first time an Indian shipbuilder has secured such a contract. The vessels, intended for offshore wind farm installations, will also be used for their commissioning and maintenance.
CSL has the option to build four additional vessels within a year. This order not only reinforces CSL’s international standing but also opens new opportunities in the offshore wind energy sector, an area that is expected to see significant growth in the coming years.

As of December 31, 2024, CSL’s order book stood at ₹21,784 crore. The company’s ability to secure large orders and consistently perform well in the shipbuilding industry reflects its strong market position. CSL’s strategic focus on expanding its capabilities in ship repair and offshore fabrication will likely contribute to its future success.
Cochin Shipyard Limited continues to impress with its diverse capabilities in shipbuilding, repairs, and offshore vessel construction. The company’s strategic moves, including securing significant international orders, have contributed to its solid performance in the stock market. As geopolitical tensions continue to drive defence sector growth, CSL is well-positioned to capitalise on new opportunities.
This performance boost also indicates strong investor confidence, as evidenced by the significant rise in CSL's share price, making it an interesting company to watch in the coming months.
