The Great Nicobar Project: India’s Ultimate Maritime Masterstroke 🇮🇳⚓
There is a coordinated PR campaign targeting the ₹72,000 Crore Great Nicobar Island (GNI) project.

The Geographic Imperative 🗺️
Look at the map.
Great Nicobar sits right on the Six Degree Channel.
This is the entry point to the Malacca Strait, where over 30% of global sea-borne trade and 80% of China’s oil imports pass.
GNI is the literal gatekeeper of the Indo-Pacific.
