India’s Deep Ocean Mission, with an investment of Rs 4,077 crore over five years, aims to develop technologies for deep-sea exploration and sustainable marine resource utilization, thereby enhancing the nation’s Blue Economy by 2030. The mission includes the ambitious Samudrayaan Project, featuring the MATSYA 6000 vehicle for deep-sea dives, which recently allowed Indian aquanauts to gain crucial experience. This initiative not only seeks to establish indigenous capabilities in deep-sea mining and renewable ocean energy but also positions India as a leader in global ocean governance, fostering economic growth and job creation in marine industries while aligning with sustainable development goals.
