Powering India's Electric Waterways
Friday, July 08, 2026
Long before "electric mobility" became a buzzword in Indian boardrooms, Boatcraft Services Pvt Ltd was already building boats on the shores of Goa. Founded in 1997 by John Fernandes, the company has spent nearly three decades shaping India's marine industry — not as a follower of trends, but as the one setting them. Today, with over 50 employees and two manufacturing facilities in Salcete, Goa, Boatcraft has evolved from a traditional FRP boat builder into one of the country's most credible names in electric marine engineering, operating under its dedicated clean-mobility arm, Boatcraft EV.
