Centre Proposes NBFC Under Sagarmala to Address Shipping Industry Issues

The Indian government is considering establishing a non-banking financial company (NBFC) under the Sagarmala project to address ongoing challenges in the shipping industry. This move is aimed at bolstering financing options and improving infrastructure development within the sector.

The proposal comes as part of the Sagarmala project, which seeks to enhance port connectivity, boost port-led development, and modernise port infrastructure across the country. The proposed NBFC would focus on providing financial support to various shipping and port-related projects, which often face funding constraints.

By setting up this specialised financial entity, the government aims to overcome the financial hurdles that hinder the growth and efficiency of the shipping industry. The NBFC would play a crucial role in financing infrastructure upgrades, expanding port facilities, and supporting logistics operations, thereby contributing to the overall development of the maritime sector.

This initiative is expected to foster a more robust and efficient shipping network, aligning with the broader objectives of the Sagarmala project and enhancing India's position in global maritime trade.
