India is making waves in the fisheries sector! Under the Pradhan Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojana (PMMSY), the Ministry of Fisheries, Animal Husbandry & Dairying has greenlit fisheries development projects worth a whopping โน21,274.16 crore, with โน9,189.79 crore as central government share.
The star of the show? 11 state-of-the-art Integrated Aqua Parks approved across 11 statesโincluding Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Odisha, and Assamโat a total investment of โน682.60 crore.
These Aqua Parks will act as โone-stop hubsโ for Indiaโs aquaculture revolution. From seed and feed supply to processing, cold storage, and market linkageโthese parks aim to provide end-to-end infrastructure, reduce post-harvest losses, and boost fisher incomes through value addition and organized marketing.
The parks are strategically planned to support cluster-based development, driving efficiency, sustainability, and higher exports. States like Tamil Nadu (โน127.71 Cr) and Odisha (โน100 Cr) lead the funding charts, while smaller states like Tripura, Uttarakhand, and Nagaland also get a slice of this blue growth.
In the last 5 years (2020โ2025), the PMMSY has become a game-changerโempowering fisherfolk, strengthening the seafood supply chain, and fueling the โBlue Economyโ dream.
This massive push not only secures Indiaโs food future but also opens new global export doors for desi seafood.
India is swimming toward prosperity, one fish at a time!
