Shipping Ministry Launches Credit Risk Insurance Products for Shipbuilding Industry
The Indian Shipping Ministry announced two specialised credit risk insurance products to support the shipbuilding industry under the National Shipbuilding Mission. The Shipbuilding Project Credit Risk Insurance Policy covers export projects, while the Business Credit Shield Policy protects domestic ventures. The government will subsidise premiums and assist insurers with claims to reduce financial stress from delayed payments. These policies, unveiled by Union Minister Sarbananda Sonowal during the 21st Maritime State Development Council meeting, aim to provide a financial safety net for shipyards amid long, capital-intensive projects.
