In India, the importance of sea route as the focal point of the development from the early times of civilization was palpable. Population growth, economic growth, urbanization and increased technology have transformed many Indian cities into metropolitans. Due to these changes, the function of sea ports has also changed and the current pattern of port development in India now focus more on mixed-use development and recreation. The focus of this project is to identify the attributes of the port development and there upon derive guidelines for port development. Findings of various studies have identified the importance of port development in the nation building process. This opportunity has an economic growth impact and the effects will be seen on the GDP of the country as a whole. The geographical location of India is both strategic as well as fragile. Our real problem is not in securing our borders but coastline and hence we need concerted efforts in the name of Sagar Mala Project. 1) Port modernization 2) Connectivity enhancement 3) Port-linked industrialization 4) Coastal community development. India has never focused on developing a good coastline and hence there is a huge potential for the success of the project.
