Zorya-Mashproekt (Ukrainian: ДП НВКГ «Зоря» — «Машпроект») is a research and manufacturing facility focused on the development and production of gas turbine technology. Situated in Mykolaiv, Ukraine, the complex operates under the umbrella of the state-owned corporation Ukrainian Defense Industries (Ukroboronprom).

History

The concept of establishing a factory dedicated to steam turbine production in Ukraine emerged shortly after World War II. On 9 July 1946, the Soviet authorities resolved to create such a plant in Mykolaiv. Subsequently, local officials identified a site in the southeastern outskirts of the city, close to the Kulbakine military airfield. Preparations commenced in March 1948, with construction continuing over a period of five years. Initially, this facility was known as the Southern Turbine Plant.

After the annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation, Ukraine ceased supplying marine gas turbines from Zorya-Mashproekt to the Russian Navy. Consequently, NPO Saturn was tasked with developing alternative engines for the Admiral Gorshkov and Admiral Grigorovich-class frigates.

Amidst the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Zorya-Mashproekt shifted part of its production to fabricating anti-tank hedgehog barriers aimed at supporting the defense efforts in Mykolaiv. The workforce also organized a territorial defense unit to uphold security within the plant. On 13 March, the facility sustained damage from shelling.

An Indian enterprise, Bharat Forge, acquired a 51% stake in Zorya Mashproekt India Private Limited. The acquisition agreement was signed on 9 May 2023 by Kalyani Strategic Systems, a wholly owned subsidiary of Bharat Forge. The transaction was completed on 31 December 2023.
