Visakhapatnam: Indian Naval Station Eksila observed its silver jubilee by organising two events on Wednesday which include a seminar on Overhaul and Indigenisation of Marine Gas Turbines and an industrial exhibition.Flag officer, commanding-in-chief , Eastern Naval Command Vice-Admiral HCS Bisht was the chief guest and inaugurated both the events.
The seminar was attended by all the stake holders representing the naval headquarters, Indian Air Force, PSUs, government organisations and lead industries in addition to erstwhile commanding officers of the unit. A photo essay book ‘Propelling Ahead’ , a kaleidoscope tracing the glorious journey of twenty five years from MGTOC to INS Eksila, was also released by the vice-admiral on the occasion.
Speakers from across the country shared their perspective of topics related to gas turbines during the seminar. It saw lively discussions and yielded some takeaways towards partnerships between industry and the navy, which could confront the future challenges for maintenance of gas turbines.
The technical exhibition showcased the capability of over 20 lead industrial houses and provided a valuable opportunity to the industries to showcase their capability for development of indigenous substitutes in the field of marine gas turbines, hydraulic systems, sensors, instrumentation and controls, support systems for ship based applications of Indian Navy.
Eksila is the only naval establishment in South East Asia where naval personnel undertake major overhaul of marine gas turbines powering naval ships. The Unit has witnessed major transformation in the last two-and-a-half decades since inception as Marine Gas Turbine Overhaul Centre (MGTOC) on October 22, 1991.
