Sadhav Offshore Engineering

What Sadhav Offshore Engineering does

Sadhav Offshore Engineering Pvt. Ltd., founded in 1992 and headquartered in Andheri, Mumbai, is an Indian maritime services company operating across offshore logistics, dry docking and ship repair, vessel construction, and offshore oil & gas field services. The company runs a captive Paradip dry dock (75m x 15m x 6m) and slipway (300T/500T winches), a fleet of 25+ vessels including DP1 AHTS, OSVs, barges, and high-speed craft, and India's first Port-based Tier-1 Oil Spill Response Facility with 8,100m+ of containment booms across five ports. It is an authorized service partner for Kongsberg Maritime (Kamewa waterjets) and represents OES Group (antifouling/cathodic protection), DURASTIC, DECK-RITE, AMCO, and BELL Immersive Technologies, providing specialized OEM-linked services on the Eastern Seaboard and Andaman & Nicobar region.

The business model is B2B enterprise services revenue, project-based and quote-driven, targeting the Indian Navy, Indian Coast Guard, ONGC, Mazagon Docks, Goa Shipyard, L&T Defence, BrahMos Aerospace, major port trusts (Paradip, JNPT, Mumbai, Mormugao), and select commercial shipping accounts. The company reports 170+ dockings completed, 45+ Coast Guard refits, 98% on-time refit delivery, and 93%+ operational uptime on its offshore support vessels — operational metrics that anchor its value proposition in quality and schedule adherence rather than technology differentiation. Customer engagement is direct enterprise sales with relationship-based procurement, supported by a B2B website and select industry events.

The Sadhav Group comprises three entities — Sadhav Shipping Ltd (fleet ownership), Sadhav Offshore Engineering Pvt. Ltd (MRO and engineering services), and Sadhav Drydocks Pvt. Ltd (infrastructure holding). The group is family-controlled under Capt. Kamalkant Choudhury (Chairman & MD, Master Mariner, ex-ONGC) with Devahuti Choudhury (ISB Hyderabad) leading strategic direction and an executive team that includes retired Coast Guard Commanders and ex-L&T and Goltens India operators. The company raised approximately $2.96M from Negen Undiscovered Value Fund in April 2025, its first disclosed institutional capital.

Broad incumbents

• Goa Shipyard Limited (GSL): Public-sector shipyard building offshore patrol vessels (OPVs) for Indian Coast Guard. Sadhav performs electrical and electronic installations at GSL since 2008-2010, making this both a customer relationship and a comparable shipyard peer in defense vessel construction.
• Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders Limited (MDL): Premier Indian defense shipyard building P15B destroyers and Scorpene submarines. Serves as both a customer (Sadhav performs fabrication/outfitting) and a broader incumbent in shipbuilding and submarine construction, with overlapping scope in defense naval programs.
• Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers (GRSE): Defense public-sector shipyard building frigates, corvettes, and patrol vessels for Indian Navy and Coast Guard. Comparable as a defense shipyard peer and competitor for naval and Coast Guard ship repair work in India.
• L&T Shipbuilding: Defense and commercial shipbuilding arm of Larsen & Toubro, builder of Interceptor Boats for Indian Coast Guard. Sadhav provides machinery installations and waterjet services to L&T's shipyard, making them both partner and incumbent competitor in defense vessel construction.

Directly comparable as a ship repair and vessel construction peer serving Indian defense and commercial customers, though larger scale and diversified including newbuilds.
