British marine technology company RAD has appointed Shiv Power and Marine Service as its new authorised distributor in India, significantly expanding its global network to support the rapid growth of the country’s commercial, defence, and workboat sectors.
The partnership comes as India undergoes a major transformation across its maritime and inland waterways industries, driven by government investment, fleet modernisation, and initiatives such as the Sagarmala Programme. With growing demand for electrification, hybridisation, and cleaner technologies, operators across the country are actively seeking future-ready propulsion and vessel control solutions.
To meet this demand, Mumbai-based Shiv Power and Marine Service will supply the full RAD product range while delivering local installation, commissioning, and after-sales support. A long-established marine engineering specialist, Shiv Power provides propulsion systems, power solutions, installation services, and technical support across coastal and inland regions for commercial operators, shipyards, government agencies, and service fleets.
Sanjeev Sinha, Managing Director, at Shiv Power and Marine Service, said, “We are proud to partner with RAD in order to bring its advanced propulsion and vessel control technologies to our customers across India. The market is evolving quickly, with growing interest in electric and hybrid systems for commercial, government and industrial applications. RAD’s solutions offer the reliability, performance and future readiness that operators are looking for. This partnership strengthens our ability to support customers as they upgrade their fleets and adopt next generation marine technologies.”
Simon Payne, Sales Director, RAD, commented, “Shiv Power and Marine Service has an excellent reputation, strong engineering capability and a deep understanding of the needs of Indian operators. Their commitment to quality and customer support aligns perfectly with RAD’s values. We are delighted to welcome them as our distributor in India and we look forward to working together to support the country’s transition toward modern, intelligent and sustainable marine systems.”
The appointment directly supports RAD’s broader strategy to expand its international dealer network and meet rising global demand for electric propulsion. Leveraging Shiv Power’s technical capability and strong regional presence, RAD is positioned to serve operators across India’s ports, coastal fleets, inland waterways, aquaculture, tourism, and workboat markets.
