India’s Great Nicobar mega project has received major approvals, pushing the ambitious development plan forward on Great Nicobar Island. The project aims to build a transshipment port, international airport, power infrastructure, and urban facilities to boost connectivity and strategic presence in the Bay of Bengal. Some final environmental and regulatory clearances are still pending before full-scale construction begins. Supporters say the project can unlock jobs, trade, logistics growth, and regional development, strengthening India’s maritime role. Critics and experts urge strong safeguards to protect rainforests, coral reefs, and indigenous communities, calling for careful phasing, mitigation plans, and sustainable development practices to balance growth with conservation.
