Synopsis Today Indian Navy has grown to be a shipbuilders navy. The average rate of new construction projects inducted by shipyards, match up in volume to the number of ships which come out of MR-MLU from Naval Dockyards. Logically the operating philosophy for CBPM during construction of new ship should be the same or better than the way ships are maintained whilst in-service. The paper intends to identify, the best practices in non-intrusive method of equipment health monitoring in new construction projects vis-a-vis ships in commission and marry them to get a holistic working model.
