Sagarmala: The Project to Build Infrastructure for the Indian Economic Development

Abstract

 Our country India is bounded by the Indian Ocean on three side and covered the 7516.2km.coastline area and India is the 7^th largest country of the world. India is centrally located in Indian Ocean and India lies in West Asia countries. The vast area and its central location provide opportunity to India trade with the Africa, East-Asian and European Nations. To develop the trade with other countries India needed to develop the sea ports in eastern and western coast of India. India suffer from poor linkages and poor performance of existing port infrastructure. An insufficient transport connectivity increase the logistics and exports cost.  There for the present government develop the model cities, new sea ports, transportation and other facility near the coastal area.
