India Urged to Enhance Shipping Capacity and Naval Protection Amid Red Sea Crisis
India faces growing maritime insecurity as the Red Sea crisis surpasses 1,000 days, disrupting key shipping routes between Asia, Europe, and North Africa. The conflict, marked by attacks from Yemen-based Houthi forces since November 2023, has increased freight, insurance, and working-capital costs, especially impacting MSME exporters. The Global Trade Research Initiative (GTRI) advises India to strengthen its domestic shipping capacity, naval protection, trade finance, and develop alternative transport corridors to mitigate these persistent trade risks.
