Wide-ranging improvements are being lined up for Alang’s beaching yards, aimed at creating an industry that is fully compliant with international safety and environmental rules.
The programme is funded by a $76m loan from the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), with additional finance from the Gujarat Maritime Board (GMB).
The measures outlined in the funding proposal will apply to around 70 beaching yards at Alang in Gujarat state, north-west India, that can apply for loans.
