MSMEs are the corner stone for generating the national income and propelling the nation towards increased GDP contributing significantly to the Indian economy. One of the key factors in GDP is contribution from the industrial sector, which ought to be nurtured to keep up the momentum of growth in the economy. India has burgeoned from a buyer’s Navy to the builder’s Navy over the last five decades, building ships of varied class including the coveted aircraft carrier. Modern warships call for technologically advanced state of art of combat systems which need to be operationally supported and maintained to the highest levels with technological updates as a continuum, to achieve the ultimate objective of Atma Nirbhar Bharat. There is a real challenge for the MSMEs to be engaged in the multi-faceted disciplines of warship building and sustain themselves. Sustainability factor is a pivotal and predominant factor in the engagement of MSMEs in warship building.. Resources have to be pooled and collaborative efforts ought to be made by both the Government agencies and large industrial houses to sustain the MSMEs in the warship building arena. This paper examines the sustainability of MSMEs in the context of warship building by evolving certain key measurement indicators.
