Description
The ₹72,000 crore Great Nicobar Infrastructure Project aims to transform India’s southernmost island into a strategic maritime and economic hub. Proposed by NITI Aayog and implemented by ANIIDCO, the project includes an international container transshipment terminal, a dual-use airport, a solar power plant, and an integrated township. While the project strengthens India’s Act East Policy, maritime security in the Indian Ocean Region, and employment prospects, it has also raised serious environmental and tribal rights concerns. Legal challenges in the NGT and Calcutta High Court highlight risks to coral reefs, leatherback turtles, Nicobar megapode birds, seismic vulnerability, and the survival of the Shompen PVTG. A crucial topic for UPSC, environment, geography, and internal security studies.
