Sanjeev Sanyal Highlights Shift in India's Maritime Approach Under Coastal State PM
Sanjeev Sanyal, member of the Prime Minister's Economic Advisory Council, stated at News18 DEFCON 2026 that India's previous governments had a 'landlocked' approach to maritime issues. He emphasized that the country's maritime focus is not about financial investment but about prioritizing maritime sensitivity at the national level. Sanyal noted that having a Prime Minister from a coastal state helped shift this mindset and advance maritime priorities through legal and strategic changes.
