The government has invested Rs 300 billion in the last eight years in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, and investments of over Rs 100 billion are in the pipeline, Union Minister of State for Information & Broadcasting L Murugan said on Sunday.

Addressing a press conference in Port Blair, Murugan said a trans-shipment hub, a greenfield international airport, a township and a diesel/solar power plant have been planned as part of the proposed mega infrastructure projects on Greater Nicobar Island. The minister expressed satisfaction with the implementation of central projects by the local administration. “It is good to hear that nearly 62,000 water connections have been provided and more than 95% of the work for 1,338 houses under the PM Awas Yojana is complete,” he said.

The Union territory has nearly 15,500 beneficiaries under the PM Kisan scheme, Murugan said. In the aviation sector, around Rs 7.10 billion is being invested in the islands, he added.

“There is a need for a fishing harbour at Mayabunder and I have asked the officials concerned for a detailed project report,” he said.
