Now is the time to engage with the Indian maritime sector, but we need to rethink the approach and consider a broad, holistic ecosystem approach.
This is the main conclusion from the first report ever, which takes a hard look at specific opportunities and limitations for Danish Maritime companies in India.
Other main conclusions are…
- India’s Maritime sector is small by global standards but expanding rapidly
- Expansion is fueled by structural and economic necessity, new legislation and geopolitical changes in terms of security and supply chain diversification
- There is a strong demand for green Danish solutions in the Blue Indian economy
- The best entry points for Danish Maritime companies are select private Indian shipyards with international focus and customers
- Norwegian, Swedish and Dutch Maritime companies are successfully accessing India
- There is a strong political momentum at the highest level, with the Green Strategic Partnership and the upcoming Indo-Danish Maritime Centre of Excellence
