Garware Marine Industries Ltd (GMIL), established as 'Modern Nets Ltd' in 1975 and renamed in 1981, is based in Mumbai with a manufacturing facility in Ahmednagar, Maharashtra. Initially focused on manufacturing and marketing fishing nets for over three decades, the company has transitioned to operating a Ship Repair Division. GMIL assists in major ship maintenance tasks such as day dockings and thruster overhauls, and remains one of the few organized sector net makers in India, primarily serving the fishing industry along the Indian coastline.
The company has expanded its manufacturing capabilities over the years, notably increasing production capacity for Fish Knitted Fabrics and commissioning new net-making machines between 2005 and 2010. Despite ceasing traditional manufacturing activities, GMIL's expertise in both ship repair and net manufacturing positions it as a significant player in its industry niche.
