Mini Case Study 14 poster: Build Ships Build Jobs Build Hubs

Build Ships Build Jobs Build Hubs.

Here's all you need to know:

What changed?
-> The Cabinet approved ₹69,725 crore to grow shipbuilding in India.
-> Aim: make more ships here, fix ships here, and use cleaner fuel tech.

Why now ?
-> Global shipping is changing. India wants less dependence on other countries and more work at home.

What this money will do ?
-> Make ships for cargo, ferries, and coastal routes
-> Help defence with faster repair and upgrades
-> Go green with LNG/green-methanol designs and better ports

What it means in the next 1–2 years ?
1. More jobs in steel, engines, wiring, paint, electronics, ports
2. New hubs on both coasts; more small suppliers get work
3. Save foreign currency and win export orders

What to do now (30–60 days) ?
1. Suppliers: register as marine-grade vendors (steel, cables, HVAC, safety gear)
2. Startups: pitch fuel-saving add-ons, route tools, safety IoT
3. Ports & logistics: book dry-dock slots, line up green power, start hiring
