According to N Sivasailam, Former Special Secretary (Logistics), Ministry of Commerce & Industry, regionalisation means India’s self-reliance along with the globe. He adds, “This initiative would create facilitative environment in order to ensure a good reign of business. It may cover not only the movement of petroleum and other essential goods but also a whole lot of India’s exports in container trade. We are not trying to say that vessels should be of Indian investment or there should not be any foreign investment. However, this is also a means of attracting foreign domestic investment in India and making India an attractive place for FDI for the service sector.”
