India’s ₹90,000 crore Great Nicobar Project is emerging as a major strategic and economic initiative aimed at strengthening the country’s maritime presence, boosting trade infrastructure, and expanding its geopolitical influence in the Indo-Pacific region, as per a Global Order report.
Spread across 166 sq km in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, the project includes the development of a transshipment port, an international airport and associated logistics and urban infrastructure near the Malacca Strait, one of the world’s busiest maritime trade corridors.
