As geopolitical tensions disrupt traditional trade routes and reshape global supply chains, India and Russia are moving to accelerate cooperation on one of the world's most ambitious maritime projects, which could have deep strategic importance in the future.

The Arctic could also see the unfolding of a Great Game in the future, where global powers vie for influence and control.
