India Advances Great Nicobar Mega-Project Amid Seismic Challenges
India plans a major infrastructure project on Great Nicobar Island, including an international airport, township, and a container transshipment terminal at Galathea Bay. The development aims to boost maritime trade and reduce reliance on foreign ports by leveraging the island's strategic location near the Strait of Malacca. However, the island's position in Seismic Zone V poses significant geological risks, prompting engineers to devise solutions for seismic activity and land subsidence. Construction is expected to begin by 2028 under a phased master plan through 2047.
