India Partners Globally To Meet Marine Vision 2047

05 Jun 2025 CW Team

Union Minister for Ports, Shipping and Waterways, Sarbananda Sonowal, announced that India is actively engaging with global maritime leaders to achieve the ambitious targets set under the Maritime India Vision 2047. The statement was made during his visit to Norway, where he is leading the Indian delegation at Nor-Shipping 2025.

As part of this international cooperation, Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers (GRSE) has signed an agreement with Norwegian maritime company Kongsberg to build India’s first Polar Research Vessel (PRV). This marks a significant advancement in India’s marine research and shipbuilding capabilities.

“Discussions with countries experienced in maritime infrastructure development are ongoing. Partnerships aligned with the 2047 vision will be pursued, and best global practices will be adopted across domestic operations,” said Sonowal.

The Maritime India Vision 2047 outlines transformative goals, including increasing annual cargo handling capacity at Indian ports to 10 billion tonnes—four times the current volume. It also targets a 400 per cent rise in inland waterway freight movement, aiming to reach 500 million tonnes per annum by 2047.

India’s strategy involves not only expanding physical capacity but also integrating sustainable and technologically advanced systems to modernise port and shipping operations nationwide.
