Kochi (Kerala) [India], May 1 (ANI): The Union Minister for Ports, Shipping, and Waterways Sarbananda Sonowal, on Sunday, announced that Cochin Shipyard Limited has committed to invest an initial corpus of Rs 50 crore in the Start-up companies engaged in the maritime sector.

He felicitated CSL for its achievements over the last five decades, including the construction of the country’s first Aircraft carrier, which propelled India into the elite group of nations in the world. CSL’s initiatives on new technology and green solutions were also praised by the Minister.

“The Government of India is keenly focused on the development of the Start-Up ecosystem in the country. Many major initiatives, like “Start-Up India” etc. have facilitated the growth of numerous start-ups in the country,” said Sonowal.

“With a view towards the development of start-ups in the maritime domain, the Ministry of Ports, Shipping, and Waterways (PSW) is working on a Start-up Engagement Framework, which will be promulgated shortly,” he added.
