India could gain major advantages from the Northern Sea Route as Arctic shipping expands, according to maritime expert Anurag Bisen. The emerging corridor is being viewed as a potential opening for India’s maritime industry, especially in logistics and related services.
The expert says the biggest opportunities may come in logistics support and port management. As the route develops, Indian companies and maritime institutions could find new roles in handling cargo flows, supporting vessels and linking trade networks to the Arctic passage.
Another area highlighted is manpower. India could help meet demand for trained seafarers as shipping activity grows along the route. That would give the country a practical role in the Northern Sea Route beyond trade alone, tying its workforce into a changing global shipping map.
The broader point is that India appears to have recognized the route’s long-term value for maritime business. If the Northern Sea Route continues to open up, it may create fresh commercial space for Indian ports, logistics providers and shipping professionals.
