Gujarat, July 27: Gujarat is taking major steps to strengthen its position in India’s shipbuilding sector with a new policy aimed at attracting investment, expanding maritime infrastructure, and promoting growth in the industry.
The policy is expected to provide fresh momentum to shipbuilding, ship repair, and related marine activities by encouraging private participation, technological advancement, and capacity expansion.
With its strategic coastline, major ports, and strong industrial base, Gujarat is well-positioned to become a key centre for shipbuilding in the country. The initiative is also expected to create employment opportunities and support the development of industries linked to the maritime sector.
Officials said the policy will help boost India’s vision of becoming self-reliant in ship manufacturing and strengthen the country’s presence in the global maritime industry.
The move marks a significant push towards making Gujarat a preferred destination for domestic and international maritime investments.
