The Ministry of Ports, Shipping, and Waterways in India has introduced transformative schemes under the Maritime India Vision 2030 (MIV 2030) and Maritime Amrit Kaal Vision 2047 (MAKV 2047) to bolster the country's maritime infrastructure and shipbuilding capabilities. These initiatives, announced by Union Minister Shri Sarbananda Sonowal, outline a strategic roadmap to position India as an international maritime hub. Key projects include the development of mega ports at Vadhavan and Galathea Bay, deep draft ports at strategic locations, and a transshipment hub at Galathea Bay to enhance maritime capacity. Additionally, plans for National Waterways and connectivity schemes aim to facilitate inland transport and boost the maritime sector. The government is also focusing on modernizing domestic shipyards through an updated Shipbuilding and Ship Repair Policy, with the aim of generating employment and increasing shipbuilding capabilities. Sustainability is a key focus, with the introduction of Green Port Guidelines and the development of Green Hydrogen/Ammonia Hubs at major ports under the National Hydrogen Mission. Other eco-friendly initiatives like the Green Tug Transition Programme and Harit Nauka Guidelines emphasize India's commitment to sustainable shipping practices. The Cruise Bharat Mission, aimed at doubling cruise passenger traffic by 2029, and the development of international cruise terminals highlight India's push to become a global cruise destination. The government is also investing in skilling initiatives, MSME participation, and maritime education to support the sector. Technological advancements such as VHF-based communication systems, digital portals, and AI-powered systems for port operations showcase India's commitment to innovation in the maritime industry. By 2047, India aims to become a leading maritime powerhouse by focusing on infrastructure expansion, sustainability, and technological innovation. The Maritime Amrit Kaal Vision 2047 seeks to drive economic growth and environmental stewardship, positioning India as a key player in the international maritime arena.
