Answer 1

All the countries have to take rights from the ISA (International Seabed Authorities) to varry out exploration activities outside the exclusive economic zone. The ISA was formed under the United Nations Law Of Sea. India has earlier applied for these earlier. So in this way India get the right of mining manganese nodules from the area beyond exclusive economic zone.
