The government is set to operationalise the ₹25,000 crore Maritime Development Fund (MDF) by allocating ₹9,800 crore to it in the upcoming budget.

- Subhash Narayan

‘The fund aims to lower capital costs and attract long-term, low-cost investment into shipyards, coastal infrastructure, and inland waterways. The Maritime Development Fund aims to mobilise investment worth ₹1.5 trillion in the shipping sector by 2030, which will play a key role in making India one of the top five shipbuilding and ship-owning nations in the world by 2047, from its current position as the sixteenth.
