Answer:
India is bound by sea on three sides and has a 7,516.6 km coastline, making it the 7th largest in the world. Therefore, it is only natural that Indian ports handle 90% of the export-import trade volume. But that does not tell the entire story. The railways contribute 9% to the GDP, the road sector contributes 6%, whereas the ports’ share of GDP is only 1%! This contradiction reflects the vast potential for development of coastal cities and ports. India suffers from poor port linkages, under performance of existing port infrastructure and lack of developed infrastructure near ports, for value addition of inbound or outbound merchandise. Along with this, an inefficient inter-modal transport connectivity results in high cost of logistics and exports. The share of merchandise trade in GDP for Germany is 75%, and for European Union it is 70%. For India, it is 42%. The Sagarmala project aims to improve this. The present government has therefore prioritised the development of coastal cities, along with existing and new port development, as growth drivers. It makes the development of southern region of India in a very planned and sophisticated manner. It is good for transportation and industrialization of the southern part of India.
