Great Nicobar eyes international container terminal

Great Nicobar Island may soon witness the establishment of an international container terminal, marking a significant development in the region's maritime infrastructure. As part of ongoing efforts to boost trade and connectivity, discussions are underway to facilitate the construction of a state-of-the-art terminal that would cater to international container shipping.
