A defining milestone for India’s maritime future! In Seoul today, I met with HD Hyundai Chairman Mr. Chung Ki-sun to rapidly advance the massive $4 billion greenfield mega shipyard at Thoothukudi, Tamil Nadu. Guided by Hon'ble PM Shri Narendra Modi Ji's vision, India is poised to become a core pillar of HD Hyundai's global future as it reiterates its commitment to participate as the primary strategic investor in this flagship project. To accelerate execution on the ground, a Joint Working Group comprising officials from both sides would steer the project, aiming to finalise the joint venture structure and DPR within six months. By combining South Korea's technological capabilities with India's massive domestic vessel demand, we are driving deep technology transfer and localised manufacturing to build a globally competitive shipbuilding ecosystem. 🇮🇳🤝🇰🇷

Wonderful scenes, the joy in the faces of the young athletes when they meet their hero! Brazilian volleyball star Giba interacting with kids in a village in Assam. Former India volleyball team captain Abhijeet Bhattacharya is leading a grassroots revolution with his Brahmaputra Volleyball League in the state, nurturing the future stars of the nation from the untapped sports goldmines of India - our villages.
