This new legislation aims to modernize India's maritime sector, enhance governance at ports, and promote sustainable development. Key features include the establishment of the Maritime State Development Council, compliance with international environmental standards, and a focus on digitalization. The bill is seen as a significant reform that aligns India with global maritime leaders and supports the country's trade ambitions as it moves towards becoming a developed nation by 2047.
