Sadhav Offshore, a maritime services company operating in India, has raised Rs 25 crore in an equity round led by the Negen Undiscovered Value Fund. The round also saw participation from family offices and high-net-worth individuals (HNIs). The proceeds will be used to support capital expenditure focused on launching a floating dry dock facility. Sadhav Offshore currently services a wide range of vessels, including over 70% of the Indian Coast Guard’s FPV fleet on the eastern seaboard. The firm operates a repair facility at Paradip Port and has past experience servicing international clients such as Svitzer-Maersk. It also maintains technical partnerships with firms like Kongsberg Maritime for propulsion system servicing. This expansion aligns with national maritime development goals under Sagarmala and Maritime India Vision 2030. The planned dry dock will help fill a critical gap in India’s ship repair infrastructure, which currently lacks enough domestic facilities and often forces ships to go abroad for maintenance. A dry dock is a special structure that lets ships be lifted out of the water so that work can be done on parts that are normally underwater, such as cleaning, repairs, or inspections. By offering reliable, local repair services for both commercial and defence vessels, the new facility is expected to reduce delays and improve operational efficiency.
