Andaman LG outlines achievements, island's economic hub vision in Independence Day speech
Port Blair, Andaman and Nicobar Islands Lieutenant Governor Admiral DK Joshi on Friday said the Union Territory recorded its highest-ever tourist footfall this year with domestic visitors increasing by 41 per cent and foreign arrivals by 27 per cent over 2024. Andaman LG outlines achievements, island's economic hub vision in Independence Day speech Delivering his Independence Day address here, Admiral Joshi, who is also the vice-chairman of the Islands Development Agency , outlined an ambitious vision to transform the islands into a major economic and strategic hub in the Indo-Pacific region. The administration has invited bids for developing five-star luxury resorts at Megapode Resort, Aves Island, Shaheed Dweep, Long Island, and Smith Island under the PPP mode, adhering to global environmental norms and an investor meet is scheduled shortly, he added. In a major boost to connectivity, seaplane services linking Port Blair, Swaraj Dweep, Shaheed Dweep, Long Island, Hut Bay, and Mayabunder will commence under UDAN-5.5, with three water aerodromes to be completed by September, he said. A civil terminal at Shibpur and Car Nicobar are ready, while Campbell Bay will be operational by October. Commercial helicopter services to connect 11 tourist islands and a dedicated yacht marina are also in the pipeline, he said. The Lt Governor announced incentives for international flights from Port Blair, including a complete waiver of User Development Fee in the first year and significant reductions over the next two years. "The VAT on aviation turbine fuel is already exempt, with proposals for further concessions sent to the defence ministry," he said. Highlighting on investments, the Lt Governor said over ₹1.5 lakh-crore has been invested in IDA projects over the past seven years, with 15 of 54 projects completed, including the Chennai Andaman Nicobar Islands-Submarine Cable Optical Fibre Cable project and the Azad Hind Fauj Setu Bridge. Key decisions from the seventh IDA meeting include achieving 100 per cent renewable power generation by 2029 and full coverage under PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana by 2027, he said. "The ₹92,000-crore Great Nicobar Island project — featuring a green-field airport, international container trans-shipment terminal, power plant, and township — is progressing, with DPRs prepared and site works advancing. Offshore oil exploration has been approved in 3.81 lakh sq km of previously restricted waters, with promising hydrocarbon prospects identified," he said. The islands have also gained national recognition, with 86 per cent of hotels in Port Blair receiving Swachhata Green Leaf Ratings, and seven local products, including Nicobar Tribal Virgin Coconut Oil, awarded GI tags. Efforts are on to register 18 more traditional products, he said. "Under the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana, an amount of ₹3.31 crore has been disbursed to 13,296 beneficiaries, taking the total amount disbursed to farmers so far to more than ₹56.92 crore. The constructions of a wholesale-cum-retail fish market at Bathubasti and Modern Fishing Harbour at Mayabunder at a cost of ₹209 crore will further strengthen the fish farming infrastructure," he added. "Significant reforms in ease of doing business include GIS-based industrial estate portals, extended factory license validity, and the removal of multiple certification requirements," he said.

PM Modi urges self-reliance in critical minerals, backs national mission
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday said self-reliance in the critical minerals was 'extremely essential', while asserting that his government was working to achieve it. The PM's statement comes at a time when the country is facing shortage of rare earth magnet due to export restrictions placed by China -- which produces over 90 per cent of world's rare earth magnets. Highlighting government efforts, PM Modi said the National Critical Minerals Mission (NCMM) has already been launched, with exploration work underway at more than 1,200 locations. 'Whether it is the energy sector, the industrial sector, the defence sector, or any field of technology, critical minerals play a very important role. The entire world is now quite alert about them, something that received little attention until recently is now at the centre stage. For us too, self-reliance in critical minerals is extremely essential,' PM Modi said in his Independence Day address from the Red Fort. Approved by the Union Cabinet in January for the period 2024-25 to 2030-31, the NCMM involves Rs 16,300 crore in government funding and an expected Rs 18,000 crore investment from public sector undertakings (PSUs) and other stakeholders. The mission aims for exploration work in projects, secure at least 50 overseas mineral assets, support the filing of 1,000 patents across the critical minerals value chain, and create 10,000 skilled professionals. It also targets recycling at least 10 per cent of India's annual critical mineral consumption. According to the mines ministry, the government has auctioned 34 mineral blocks in five tranches. Earlier this month, it granted 10 patents in the field and identified seven Centres of Excellence, including four IITs, for research and development in critical mineral technologies. The Mines and Mineral (Development and Regulation) Amendment Bill 2025, passed by the Lok Sabha this week, waived the charges for including extractable critical minerals in the existing mineral lease. The experts believe it will give impetus to the production of critical and strategic minerals.
