Which one among the following has the largest shipyard in India?
Explanation
Cochin (Kochi) hosts Cochin Shipyard Limited (CSL), identified as the largest shipbuilding and repair facility in India. The book explicitly notes Kochi as a natural seaport and “the largest shipyard in the country,” and mentions major projects such as construction of the indigenous aircraft carrier for the Indian Navy, indicating its scale and strategic importance [1]. Official information from Cochin Shipyard further confirms the yard’s capacity to build and repair the largest vessels in India (capacity figures cited include construction up to 110,000 DWT and repair up to 125,000 DWT), supporting Kochi as the location of the country’s largest shipyard.
