India has a unique maritime position. Its 7517 km long coastline is home to nine coastal states and 1382 islands. The country has 12 major ports and 187 non-major ports which handled about 633.87 million tons of cargo in the year 2019. 95% of India’s trade by volume transits by sea. India’s Exclusive Economic Zone of over two million square kilometers is rich in living and non-living resources and holds significant recoverable resources of crude oil and recoverable natural gas. It can potentially enhance value addition in coastal manufacturing and services, in trade, in shipping, in deep sea minerals, aquaculture and fisheries and marine-related technologies. The coastal economy also sustains over 40 lakhs fishermen and other significant populations of coastal communities. These vast maritime interests of India, therefore, have a vital relationship with the nation’s economic growth and national security. India’s Blue Economy is a subset of the national economy comprising of the entire system of ocean resources and man-made economic infrastructure in marine, maritime and the onshore coastal zones within India’s legal jurisdiction which aid in the production of goods and services and have clear linkages with economic growth, environmental sustainability and national security.
