How the exam will ask it
प्रीलिम्स
- Goa Shipyard Limited is a Ministry of Defence shipyard that builds patrol vessels for the Indian Navy and Coast Guard.

- India's Exclusive Economic Zone extends up to 200 nautical miles from the baseline under UNCLOS.
मेन्स
GS3 (Defence, Security): India's long coastline and large EEZ demand a capable patrol fleet, yet defence production has long relied on imports. Domestic yards like GSL building NGOPVs under Aatmanirbhar Bharat and indigenisation policy cut import dependence and strengthen maritime security. The way forward lies in timely delivery, a stronger domestic supplier base for sensors and weapons, and steady orders to public and private shipyards.
