The full read
GEE Ltd, a nano-cap with a market cap of ₹454 cr, supplied all welding consumables for three Indian Navy warships commissioned by PM Modi. The vessels (INS Dunagiri, INS Agray, and INS Sanshodhak) were built by GRSE with over 75% indigenous content. The contract value is undisclosed. But being the exclusive supplier in a project overseen by the Prime Minister gives GEE credibility that few peers can claim. That could unlock future orders from GRSE and other defence shipyards.
