Hindustan Shipyard Limited is India's first and the oldest modern Industrial Shipyard. The shipyard was nationalized in 1961 and renamed Hindustan Shipyard Limited (HSL). In 2009, HSL was transferred from the Ministry of Shipping to the Ministry of Defence. The yard played a critical role in the development of nuclear- powered, Arihant class submarine.
