Increase the accuracy of methods to identify fish-rich areas, use solar and LNG-powered vessels, provide larger vessels with storage facilities, and modernize vessels and fishing equipment.
Why this status: One defined part is funded: the 2026 Budget allocates Rs. 100 million for a satellite-based system to identify fish grounds and communicate that information to fishers. That directly advances the promise's fish-area identification element. The official evidence does not show solar/LNG vessels, larger cold-storage vessels, or broad equipment modernization, so the overall multi-part pledge is only partially delivered.
