The National Vision
Maritime India Vision 2030 & Maritime Amrit Kaal Vision 2047
India has anchored its maritime ambition in two national roadmaps: the Maritime India Vision 2030 (MIV 2030) and the Maritime Amrit Kaal Vision 2047 (MAKV 2047). For shipyards, OEMs and investors, that translates into greenfield clusters, a 400+ vessel order pipeline and capital support through the Maritime Development Fund, together they commit the country to a top-five position in global shipbuilding
