Larsen & Toubro (L&T) delivered its first high speed interceptor boat (IB) to Indian Coast Guard (ICG). The IB is capable of achieving maximum speeds of over 40 Knots and was designed and constructed entirely by L&T. This is the first of 36 such high speed interceptor boats being constructed by L&T under a contract worth Rs 977 crore from ICG.

During the recently concluded sea trials, the boat has achieved the stringent performance parameters of speed and endurance. It also opens up avenues for possible export of such boats.
