Modi lists blue, green economy as saptadhara; pushes for deep-sea explorations
The Union Cabinet on July 31 approved the Samudra Manthan (National Offshore Exploration) Scheme with a budget of ₹84,084 crore
Prime Minister Narendra Modi listed a Green and Blue economy as part of India’s seven saptadharas during his Independence Day speech from the Red Fort. He emphasized the vision for India to become a global leader in green hydrogen, renewable energy, and deep-sea exploration, while also promoting coastal tourism and ocean technology.
The government has taken steps towards this direction, including changing the mindset that previously considered previously "no-go" areas in India’s coastal waters as "go-ahead" areas, providing access to key resources beyond coastlines.
