Source summary
Vishwast, Samarth and Sachet-class Coast Guard vessels use imported Railko shaft bearings with a reported lead time of about five to six weeks, which can extend docking schedules. The challenge asks for indigenous manufacture to shorten supply times, while retaining staged inspection and classification-society recommendations for quality control.
