Status will help shipping firms access cheaper funding.

- Subhash Narayan & Rhik Kundu

The government is set to accord infrastructure status to the shipping industry, with a notification likely within a fortnight, two people in the know told Mint.

An infrastructure status will help shipping firms get cheaper, longer-term bank funding, spurring purchases from Indian shipyards and boosting domestic vessel ownership, they said.

The move is seen crucial to India's ambition to be among top five countries in shipbuilding and ownership by 2047. It now ranks 18th in ship ownership and 22nd in shipbuilding.

Itwas one of many brand tie-ins and corporate activations that have accompanied the album’s release, evidence—if any was needed—that Swift is a commercial juggernaut. The cupcakes, with packaging full of Swift-lore Easter eggs, come in two variants—vanilla, with either a “teal” or “orange” icing.
