India has pledged USD 20 billion towards infrastructure development, with a focus on enhancing multimodal logistics, port connectivity, and trade facilitation. Union Minister Sarbananda Sonowal highlighted India's growing maritime capabilities at the Nor-Shipping conference in Oslo. He emphasized the favorable policy environment, shipbuilding strength, and innovative financing plans to drive sectoral growth. Sonowal called for greater partnerships in seafarer recruitment and highlighted the strategic corridors like IMEEC, EMC, and INSTC that are strengthening maritime connectivity and supply chains. The goal is for India to be among the top five shipbuilding nations by 2047 through policy incentives and infrastructure enhancement. Additionally, India is prioritizing a green and sustainable maritime future by establishing Green Hydrogen Hub Ports in Kandla, Tuticorin, and Paradip. These ports will support the manufacturing of green hydrogen and its derivatives, promoting the use of alternative fuels in the maritime domain. Sonowal's official visit to Norway and Denmark aims to further discussions and collaborations in the maritime industry.
