India, with its vast coastline spanning over 7,500 kilometers, has always had a strategic advantage when it comes to maritime trade. In recent years, the country has made significant strides in developing its shipping and port infrastructure, positioning itself as a key player in the global maritime industry. One of the most notable developments in Indian shipping is the Sagarmala project, a government initiative aimed at modernizing ports, improving connectivity, and promoting port-led development.

The project has already led to the enhancement of port infrastructure, the development of new ports, and the improvement of hinterland connectivity, making Indian ports more efficient and competitive on the global stage.
