Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently laid the foundation stone for the ₹76,200 crore Vadhvan port in Maharashtra, emphasizing its potential to attract investments and create 1.2 million job opportunities. The port, which will handle more containers than all existing ports in India combined, is expected to transform the region's economy and become a symbol of prosperity. The project, stalled for 60 years, will be implemented through a public-private partnership involving the Jawaharlal Nehru Port Authority (JNPA) and Maharashtra Maritime Board (MMB), with Phase 1 projected to cost ₹50,000 crore and handle up to 6.85 million TEUs by 2030.

Additionally, Modi launched a ₹360 crore national vessel communication and support system, utilizing technology developed by ISRO, to improve communication and safety for fishing vessels. The Prime Minister also inaugurated 218 fisheries projects worth ₹1,560 crore, aimed at enhancing infrastructure and generating over 500,000 jobs in the fisheries sector.
