Byndoor: Country-made fishing boat engines to replace Chinese ones


Daijiworld Media Network - Byndoor (SP)

Byndoor, Jan 11: State fisheries, ports and inland water transport minister Kota Srinivas Poojary, said that it has been decided to use engines made in India for powering the fishing boats in place of the current Chinese ones in order to fall in line with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's concepts of self-reliant India and Make in India.

He was speaking with the media persons on Sunday January 10 after visiting Coastal Traditional Fishermen's Cooperative Society's Navunda branch that is set for Monday inaugural.

"A total of 22,500 mechanised fishing boats are functioning in the state's coast. Out of them, 7,500 are traditional boats which have fitted nine HP outboard engines. Bigger boats have different ranges of engines up to 350 HP. Ninety percent of them are China made while the rest are manufactured by Japan and other countries. The fishermen are inclined to use indigenous products. In order to herald a change in the practices, a meeting of Mahendra Kirloskar and others was convened at Vikasa Soudha Bengaluru where these companies agreed to manufacture engines that are high in quality and priced competitively. The officials of Kochi Shipyard have also given favourable response. In order to stop use of kerosene by the boat engines, we have sought gas-based engines. The companies have promised to prepare model engines within three months and arrange exhibition cum demonstration," the minister said.

The minister was honoured on behalf of the society on this occasion.

    Instead of recommending gas engines encourage to build solar power engines. These engines save a lot of costs of fishermen as well as these are eco friendly. Please go for green. Create awareness of solar power.

    First of all its not Gas engine, its a diesel powered one, secondly solar powered won't work for a diesel engine due to high compression ratio due to level of diesel technology and its completely out of scope... seriously


    India has capacity to manufacture engines India is not poor country we got all resources and man power.

    only problem with India is our people are dead lazy and wasting talents on useless stuff, how come US Europe is developed ? do they have supernatural power ??????? they work hard and have been working hard utilizing their every area of brain since centuries....

    If it was so lucrative business what were all Indian cos doing till now?
    It's a well known fact that our products are way behind in efficiency and pricing than Chinese hence nobody was using indian ones so far!
    Saying is one thing and delivering it another!
    Just to please some political party no fisherman will use inefficient & costly parts and incur losses!

    Till indian nationalists businessmen forced to close indian factories for their benefits by importing Chinese goods. These nationalists not sincere in their agenda. In a fortnight you can't start factories closed and bankrupted. Live example is Patel 3500 cr statue produced in China without public donation but ram temple 1100 cr project they need processions , donations for to create communal tensions to create vote bank.
