The task force aims to provide policy direction for the smooth operationalization of the IMC and build global credibility for the Indian maritime sector. The IMC Secretariat will be built as a world-class facility. This move is aimed at bringing a unified approach to maritime policy across different sub-sectors.
India has been re-elected to the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) Council with the highest tally for the 2024-25 period. This reflects India’s commitment to enhancing its contributions to the global maritime domain and its continuous service at IMO.
