Berg Propulsion opens dedicated Mumbai office to support Indian shipbuilding
Berg Propulsion is to open its own office in Mumbai, to further support its growing participation in shipbuilding projects across India. Scheduled to open on 1st January 2027, the new office will offer a central point of contact for Berg’s activities in India as it builds on its relationships with leading yards,such as Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers (GRSE), Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders Limited (MDL) and Chowgule Shipyard.
The new office will be led by Amrita Singh, who will take up the post of General Manager. “Our focus will be on identifying and supporting projects where Berg solutions add value, enhance efficiency and reduce emissions,” she comments. “Working closely with customers and our yard partners, we look forward to matching our systems, service and support with the opportunities available in this growing market.”
Berg is in particular looking to expand its business footprint in India across the tug, dredger and offshore support vessel newbuilding segments. The plan is also to create a network of trained service agents in Mumbai, Kochi and Visakhapatnam, where most of its customers’ vessels operate. According to Singh, “We will recruit skilled local talent and put training programmes in place, building long-term expertise to better serve customers throughout India.”
Scope also exists for the new Mumbai office to support customers in other South Asian countries, such as Sri Lanka, she adds.
