According to reports, the proposed Great Nicobar Island International Container Transshipment Terminal will be supported by a 450-megawatt liquefied natural gas (LNG)-based power plant and a greenfield international airport.
National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC) will set up the LNG plant while the airport is expected to be set up by the Airports Authority of India. This will help in the holistic development of Great Nicobar Island in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
The tender for phase I of the international container transshipment port project at Galathea Bay in the Great Nicobar Island is expected to be invited soon.
