West Asia Conflict Won't Immediately Harm Cochin Shipyard: Official

• Cochin Shipyard Limited (CSL) sees no immediate negative impact from the West Asia conflict.
• However, prolonged conflict (over a year) could affect the company, an official stated.
• CSL's resilience stems from advance orders and less dependence on foreign raw materials.
• The company's order book is 65% from domestic defence, 20% exports, 8% commercial, and 7% ship repairs.
• CSL secured a Rs 5,000 crore Ministry of Defence order for five next-generation survey vessels for the Indian Navy.
