Central Government clears Rs. 806-crore beach tourism project in Lakshadweep

Tuesday, June 29, 2021

The Central Government has cleared Rs. 806-crore beach tourism project involving corporate groups on three islands in Lakshadweep. The project would be implemented by NITI-Aayog and Lakshadweep administration at Kadamat, Minicoy and Suheli Islands, and this was discussed at a meeting chaired by the Union Finance Secretary. Focusing on beach tourism and water sports, the project is based on the Maldives model comprising a total of 370 villas at the three island resorts. Corporates groups would be given the land on a 75-year lease and the resorts would be built with public-private participation.

The Center is going ahead with the resort project even in the midst of increasing local protest in Lakshadweep against the administrator’s controversial moves to turn the islands into a global destination.
