A statement issued Wednesday said the public sector undertaking earned Rs.68.53 crore gross profit and recorded production to the tune of Rs.506.62 crore in the last financial year.

"GSL is executing orders for supply of glass-reinforced plastic patrol boats and constructing a shore-based test facility, with Russian technology and specialised equipment, at INS Hansa, Goa, for Aeronautical Development Agency, Bangalore," it said.
