In 2024, Garden Reach Shipbuilders has witnessed an impressive nearly threefold increase in its stock value, with gains nearing 200%. This growth trajectory mirrors the strong performance of its industry peers, Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders and Cochin Shipyard, whose shares have also surged between 150% to 300% this year.
