In this line, recently
a meeting was chaired by the Shri TK Ramachandran, Secretary, MoPSW in the
presence of the Additional Secretary and Joint Secretary of Sagarmala, along
with representatives from key maritime associations such as SAI, FFFAI, INSA, IPPTA,
CSLA, CFSAI, and IPA. During this
meeting, they finalized the constitution, procedures, documentation, and
necessary infrastructure for the IMC's operationalization.
The Centre aims to provide a unified platform for
the Indian maritime industry, acting as a think tank for policy formulation and
industry recommendations. Its primary goals include strengthening the country's participation in
the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and global maritime forums,
creating a robust domestic maritime sector through a unified and synchronized
approach, conducting flagship events to build a strong global brand for the
Indian maritime cluster, providing expert analysis and recommendations for
sustainable growth, establishing platforms for industry stakeholders to
collaborate and network, and creating a pool of funds to support the industry,
including startups.
"The
establishment of the India Maritime Centre marks a significant milestone in
MoPSWs efforts to bolster the maritime sector in India. The IMC will serve as a central platform for collaboration,
innovation, and policy advocacy, ensuring sustainable growth and enhancing
India's position in the global maritime community. MoPSW is committed to make
the IMC a world-class institution that drives the future of India's maritime
industry," commented Shri TK Ramachandran.
The Task Force for the
IMC was formed in January 2024 and divided into subgroups focused on Awareness
and Outreach, Infrastructure and Operationalization, and Procedure and
Documentation. To date, two meetings of the entire Task Force and three
subgroup meetings have been conducted at the Ministry.
For Infrastructure and Operationalization, Mumbai,
Maharashtra has been finalized as the location for the IMC. A building at the IMU Campus in need of renovation
has been identified, and space has been requested from SCI at the MTI Campus,
Powai, with in-principle approval provided by SCI.
Discussions regarding furnishing requirements
with SCI are ongoing, and the preparation of an organogram is in progress.
