Mumbai to Become Global Maritime Gateway, Says Amit Shah

Amit Shah announced that Mumbai will become a key global maritime hub.

India is working to grow its shipping and ports, with over 60% of the country's GDP relying on the sector.

New ports are being developed, and existing ones are growing.

The government aims for India to be a world leader in shipping by 2047.

New projects in Great Nicobar and Cochin are attracting investment.

The state is also launching new policies to support shipbuilding and improve fishing by providing new boats to fishing cooperatives to stay out for longer periods and increase their catch.
