Cochin Shipyard shares rose 2% intraday on Thursday following another order win.

It bagged an order worth ₹200 crore from Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Limited (ONGC) for dry dock or major lay-up repairs of jack-up rigs. The project will be executed within 12 months, the shipbuilding company said in a regulatory filing.

In July, the defense firm had signed an MoU with HD Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering (KSOE) for long-term shipbuilding and maritime development collaboration.

Cochin Shipyard’s order book is valued at approximately ₹21,000 crore as of August 2025, with the majority (around ₹13,700 crore) from the defense sector.
