India is making significant strides in developing its port infrastructure and maritime sector. Minister of Shipping, Ports and Waterways, Sarbananda Sonowal, highlighted India's commitment to becoming a top shipbuilding nation by 2047. Green and sustainable maritime practices are at the forefront, with the establishment of Green Hydrogen Hub Ports in Kandla, Tuticorin, and Paradip. These ports will support the manufacturing of green hydrogen, low-emission shipping, and the use of alternative fuels. India is also focusing on digitalization and innovation, with the GIFT City in Gujarat evolving into a global maritime finance hub. The country is investing $20 billion in infrastructure development to enhance logistics, port connectivity, and trade facilitation. India aims to increase its share of global cargo handling from 6% to 15% by 2047 by engaging in partnerships with countries like the UAE and Singapore to establish Virtual Trade Corridors for efficient cargo movement.
