Project Detail:
Holistic Development of Great Nicobar Island in Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Integrated development of International Container Transshipment Terminal (ICTT)-14.2 Million TEU along with Greenfield International Airport (4000 Peak Hour Passengers-PHP), Township & Area development and 450 MVA Gas and Solar based power plant in 16610 ha.
The goal of the project ‘Preparation of Master plan for Holistic Development of Great Nicobar Island in Andaman & Nicobar Islands’ is to enable the overall development of Great Nicobar Island, with a diverse and robust economy based on maritime services, tourism amongst other economic drivers.
This will depend heavily on the development of key infrastructure facilities that will undergird the development of specific economic sectors. Accordingly, an integrated development is planned to consist of International Container Transhipment Terminal (ICTT), Greenfield international airport, Township
and area development and Power plant. Developable areas of the island have been identified along the coastline in the eastern, Southern and western of the island.
The proposed port will allow Great Nicobar to participate in the regional and global maritime economy by becoming a major player in cargo transhipment. The proposed airport will support both the maritime sector and the tourism sector, which will attract international and national tourists to Great Nicobar to
experience the outstanding natural environment and participate in sustainable tourism activities.
A Mixed-use urban development in the vicinity of these major infrastructure works will also be necessary to support quality of life for the residents that will generate and enable growth in the various economic sectors over time. This will require the development of simultaneous primary and secondary urban
infrastructure networks such as roads, public transport, energy and electrical power, as well as water, wastewater, and storm water facilities and services, which will form the skeleton of the proposed township master plan.
In order to cater the power demand, it is also proposed to construct gas and solar based power plant.
Thus, the main vision for developing the Master plan of this island can be formulated as: “To capture the locational advantage of being on International sea route and develop Great Nicobar as a Sustainable, Green, Global Hotspot for business, trade and leisure.”
An amount of Rs 75,000 Crores will be invested for the proposed integrated development facilities.
