The core idea is to leverage the island's proximity to the East-West shipping route, with plans for:
An international container transshipment terminal
An international airport capable of handling up to 10 million passengers per year
New township spanning 16,610 hectares
450 megavolt-ampere gas and solar-based power plant
This looks to strengthen India's economic power in the Andaman Sea while also boosting the nation's defense in the Indo-Pacific region.
