The dockyard was originally established 1774 while it was acquired by the Government of India in 1960 and celebrated its 250th anniversary in 2024. As of date, the yard has built 806 platforms overall including 31 capital warships and eight submarines along with an export record of 243 vessels to international clients. The shipyard will also expected to play a major role in the Indian Navy's goal to reach a size of 175 Capital Ships with 100% indigenisation within 2047.<ref name=":4">{{Cite web |date=2025-07-14 |title=India pushes for bigger naval fleet with Rs 5,000-crore investment after Op Sindoor |url=https://www.indiatoday.in/india/story/india-pushes-for-bigger-naval-fleet-with-rs-5000-crore-investment-after-op-sindoor-2755705-2025-07-14 |access-date=2025-07-15 |website=India Today |language=en}}</ref>

==Activities== The company's activities are shipbuilding, submarine building, and fabrication of offshore structures. It has manufacturing facilities on both the Mumbai peninsula and on the mainland.

The yard can build warships, submarines, and merchant ships up to 30,000 deadweight tons (DWT).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mazagondock.gov.in/newsite2010/index.htm|title=Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders Limited – Ship Builder to the Nation.|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160419125020/http://www.mazagondock.gov.in/newsite2010/index.htm|archive-date=19 April 2016|df=dmy-all}}</ref> It can also fabricate wellhead platforms, process and production platforms, and jack-up rigs for oil exploration.

As of 2025, the shipyard has the capacity to handle 11 submarines and 10 warships at a time.<ref name=":4" />

Beside the existing facility, MDL developed a shipbuilding cum ship repair facility on {{Convert|15|acre|m2|abbr=on}} of land which is leased from Mumbai Port Authority for 29 years.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |title=Mazagon Dock to erect India's largest floating dry dock at Nhava near Mumbai to expand capacity - ET Infra |url=https://infra.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/ports-shipping/mazagon-dock-to-erect-indias-largest-floating-dry-dock-at-nhava-near-mumbai-to-expand-capacity/117503494?utm_source=newslisting&utm_medium=latestNews |access-date=2025-01-25 |website=ETInfra|language=en}}</ref> As reported in July 2025, shipbuilding operations have commenced in the facility,<ref name=":4" />

=== Expansion === The shipyard has expansion plans worth {{INRConvert|4000-5000|c|lk=on|year=2025}} to focus on securing and executing export orders. Of this, a major share of over {{INRConvert|1000|c|lk=|year=2025}} is to be invested at its 40-acre-Nhava facility near Mumbai. This includes development of jetty and a facility for holding the vessel, dredging, and other associated works. MDL has awarded a contract worth {{INRConvert|475|c|lk=|year=2025}} to private-run Shoft Shipyard in Gujarat to erect a floating dry dock in the facility. Six blocks are to be built by Shoft, which will be transported to Nhava for erection. As of now, 4 blocks has been completed. The dock will have dimensions {{Convert|180|m|ft|abbr=on}} by {{Convert|44|m|ft|abbr=on}} by {{Convert|19.5|m|ft|abbr=on}} in length, breadth and height, respectively and will be able to handle eight 12,800 tonne-class ships simultaneously. The dock will be used for the construction and repair of larger commercial ships as well as for the Next Generation Destroyers.<ref name=":1" /><ref name=":2">{{Cite web |date=2025-01-25 |title=Mazagon Dock to build largest floating dry dock at Nhava Island |url=https://www.maritimegateway.com/mazagon-dock-to-build-largest-floating-dry-dock-at-nhava-island/ |access-date=2025-01-25 |website=Maritime Gateway |language=en-US}}</ref>

As of July 2025, it is being reported that MDL will also reclaim {{Convert|10|acre|m2|abbr=on}} in its Mumbai facility to create two new basins for the simultaneous construction of larger ships and submarines. The overall expansion would double the shipyard's deadweight handling capacity from 40,000 tonnes to 80,000 tonnes. With the additional {{Convert|37|acre|km2|abbr=on}} of land acquired at Nhava Sheva port, MDL aims to achieve a deadweight handling capacity from 2 lakh tonnes. The Ministry of Defence ensured that this facility will ensure the timely construction as well as the repair and overhaul of warships.<ref name=":4" />

In the same month, the Maharashtra Coastal Zone Management Authority (MCZMA) also cleared Mazagon's bid to construct the floating dry dock since there will be minimal influence on the tidal regime and coastline since the mangroves around Nhava Island are positioned at a significant distance. As per the project's Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) report, MDL will construct a temporary "launching facility" on the northern end of its Nhava facility to assemble the dry docks parts that will arrive from Gujarat's Shoft Shipyard. This region is ideal for this launching facility since it demands protections from wave and the Elephanta Island comprises a headland.<ref>{{Cite news |date=2025-08-04 |title=Nod for ship building, launching facility at Nhava |url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/cities/mumbai-news/nod-for-ship-building-launching-facility-at-nhava-101754247043475.html |access-date=2025-08-17 |work=Hindustan Times}}</ref>

There are also plans to erect another graving dry dock of approximately {{Convert|180|m|ft|abbr=on}} by {{Convert|60|m|ft|abbr=on}} dimensions, and other ancillary facilities to double up shipbuilding and ship repairs capacity. Additionally, the new submarine orders could be executed in the existing facilities due to their inherently smaller dimensions.<ref name=":1" /><ref name=":2" />

March 2026, aligning with the government’s maritime development plans, it is exploring expansion into large commercial shipbuilding, potentially in partnership with South Korean or Japanese firms.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Pandit |first=Vinaya Deshpande |date=2026-03-15 |title=How Mazagon dock seeks to make a mark in merchant shipbuilding |url=https://www.thehindu.com/business/howmazagondock-seeksto-make-a-mark-in-merchant-shipbuilding/article70744485.ece |access-date=2026-03-15 |work=The Hindu |language=en-IN |issn=0971-751X}}</ref>
