KMEW acquires 15 acres prime waterfront land at Saphale, Maharashtra

Knowledge Marine & Engineering Works (KMEW) announced the acquisition of ~15 acres of prime waterfront land (with an additional 5-acre expansion option) at Saphale, Palghar, Maharashtra. Executed through its subsidiary, Knowledge Shipyard, the acquisition marks a pivotal step in KMEW's evolution into a technology-driven, sustainable shipbuilding enterprise.

This development follows KMEW's recent entry into commercial shipbuilding and establishes a dedicated platform for scalable, future-ready maritime infrastructure.

Located along the Vaitarna River and in close proximity to the upcoming Vadhvan Port, the site offers strong multimodal connectivity and natural marine advantages, including: 

• ~188m waterfront access
• Natural slipway with ~6m high-tide draft
• Robust river width enabling efficient vessel movement
