The fourth Maritime India Conference & Expo took place at the Bombay Exhibition Centre in Mumbai from 2 to 4 November 2026. Organised by the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry with support from India’s Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways, the conference examined the country’s plans to grow as a maritime hub.

Discussions covered port modernisation, links between ports and inland markets, shipbuilding and repair, and domestic container manufacturing. Speakers also considered how policy support could translate into vessel orders, stronger local supply chains, and more productive shipyards.

These developments matter to shipowners and operators as trading patterns and port infrastructure evolve. IPANDI welcomes the opportunity for industry and policymakers to discuss how that growth can be supported safely and sustainably.
