“We will transform our islands into premier global tourism destinations by developing world-class beach resorts, marine adventure activities, and robust coastal infrastructure, while preserving local ecosystems and promoting sustainable tourism.”
Island development is being pursued through the holistic development of islands programme (coordinated via NITI Aayog), tourism and infrastructure investments in Lakshadweep (given a major push after the Prime Minister’s 2024 visit) and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, including the large Great Nicobar Island integrated development project (transhipment port, airport, township and power) which is under way but also faces environmental and ecological concerns. The pledge is in active progress, with sustainability trade-offs debated. Partial.
We will transform airports into multi-modal hubs with integrated transit facilities such as buses, metro and rapid rail among others by effective use of PM Gatishakti National Master Plan.
We will bring a commercial aircraft manufacturing ecosystem to Bharat. For this we will design a Policy for Aerospace Manufacturing in the country and try to develop our own passenger aircraft. We will strengthen the civil aviation ecosystem by encouraging Maintenance, Repairs and Overhaul activities as well as Aircraft Financing and Leasing Activities institutions through comprehensive government support programs under the Make in India initiative.
We will introduce the Amrit Kaal Civil Aviation Master Plan to transform our airports into regional international hubs, providing single-point connectivity to designated regions worldwide, with the vision to position Bharat as the leading aviation ecosystem of South Asia.
