Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders 

Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders Limited is the Mumbai public-sector yard whose modern company history begins in 1934, after a dry dock on the same waterfront in 1774, with the Government of India taking over in 1960 and Navratna status arriving in 2024. Its core work is building and repairing warships, conventional submarines, and selected commercial vessels. It is not a private marina, not a yacht broker, and not a generic steel fabricator. A navy that commissions a destroyer or a Scorpene-class submarine from this yard is still dealing with the same listed company that holds the dry docks and the design offices. Since 1960 the yard reports 806 vessels, including 31 warships and eight submarines. It is the only Indian yard publicly described as building both destroyers and conventional submarines. Current and recent programmes include Nilgiri-class frigates with Fincantieri design support and Scorpene submarines with Naval Group. Commercial capacity is framed up to about 40,000 deadweight tonnes. Those numbers are production facts for investors and the navy, not marketing slogans from a third-party “defence expo” page and not a price list a tourist can book against. MDL does not sell berths to tourists and does not appoint “authorised recruitment agents” in direct messages. A Facebook post about a launch or an X note about a keel-laying is not a tender and not an invoice. Confirm order books, careers, and investor filings on mazagondock.in. A message that offers an apprenticeship, a dock visit, or a vendor code against a fee is a fraud pattern. Official social destinations listed here are X at MazagonDockLtd and Facebook at MDLMumbai. They are corporate-communication channels for launch films and Navratna news. They are not places to pay a “security deposit” for a fictional apprenticeship, not vendor-empanelment counters, and not spare-parts shops. Ignore any personal account that offers a dock visit or a job for a fee. Treat other Mazagon-looking pages as unverified until the company website lists them.
