India has proposed a ₹3,600-crore infrastructure upgrade plan for the Lakshadweep islands, aiming to transform them into a tourist hub. The plan includes developing port facilities, peripheral roads, and beachfront amenities. Financed through the Sagarmala scheme, which focuses on port-led development, the initiative aims to boost tourism and generate employment. Despite recent controversy, Lakshadweep s natural beauty lacks sufficient infrastructure, prompting investment to harness its potential and offer an alternative to Maldives.
