On October 1, 2025, Swan Defence share price hit a 5% upper circuit, reaching a day high of 636.45 at 10:55 AM. The gain in Swan Defence shares came after the company announced the signing of a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Samsung Heavy Industries, which is one of the world’s leading shipbuilders in specialised and complex vessels.
The two partners will jointly venture into commercial shipbuilding and heavy engineering projects, targeting both domestic and international markets. Their collaboration in shipbuilding will span a broad spectrum of commercial vessels, including tankers, gas carriers, container ships, and various specialised vessels.
This alliance between two leading industry players comes at a significant time in India’s maritime sector, as the country ramps up efforts to establish itself as a premier global shipbuilding center, supported by progressive government policies, attractive financial incentives, and cutting-edge infrastructure.
Commenting on the partnership, Rear Admiral Vipin Kumar Saxena (retd.), CEO, Swan Defence and Heavy Industries, said, “We are excited to partner with Samsung Heavy Industries, a global leader in shipbuilding. Our shared vision is to deliver enhanced value to customers and shape the future of shipbuilding through advanced technologies and strategic cooperation.
