An international cruise terminal to facilitate a “global” port-led city, “high-end” tourism, and a ship-breaking yard are among the new additions to the ₹72,000-crore mega-infrastructure project in Great Nicobar Island proposed by the Union Shipping Ministry.
Great Nicobar Island
Great Nicobar is the southernmost and largest of the Nicobar islands in India, just north of Sumatra. It is part of India, in the Nicobar district within the union territory of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. The Nicobar Islands have been well known to Indian mariners since the date of the seafaring Cholas.
