India,
Sanjeev Sanyal, a key member of the Prime Minister’s Economic Advisory Council, stressed that India must adopt a more strategic and forward-looking approach to its maritime sector as it seeks to establish itself as a major player in global maritime governance. He highlighted the need for the country to rethink its shipping infrastructure, including ports, ships, and other essential maritime assets, to ensure that they meet modern demands and international standards.
To achieve this, Sanyal emphasized the importance of transformative investments, innovative shipbuilding practices, and more efficient utilization of maritime resources. This shift is crucial, he noted, as India aspires to enhance its maritime capabilities and position itself as a key stakeholder in international maritime governance. By leveraging its strategic location and expanding its shipping infrastructure, India can strengthen its global maritime influence and contribute to the evolving dynamics of global trade and shipping.
