Great Nicobar city planned as tourism economic hub by 2047
Big news from the Andaman and Nicobar Islands: there's a plan to build a whole new city on Great Nicobar Island as part of the overall Great Nicobar Island mega infrastructure project, with the integrated township component of the project.
The goal? Turn the island into a major tourist hotspot and economic hub by 2047, complete with an international airport, big shipping port, and entertainment zones.
City to span 166 sq km
The city will spread across 166 square kilometers as part of the overall project area and is inspired by places like Singapore and Dubai.
There'll be mixed-use spaces, parks, residential areas, and even a finance hub near the port.
Planners are also setting aside over 66 square kilometers as protected no-felling zones to keep local ecosystems safe, plus eco-friendly resorts and trails along six beaches to balance fun with sustainability.
