TO GO WITH 'India-Nicobar-Politics-Environment-Economy' FOCUS
This photograph taken on March 26, 2026 shows construction workers walking past a smoke-spewing tarmac mixer while they build a road cutting through forest land, as part of the Great Nicobar Island Project, a government-backed mega-development undertaking on the outskirts of Campbell Bay in Great Nicobar Island. On a remote island in the Andaman Sea, bulldozers are tearing into pristine forests home to one of Earth's most isolated people -- part of India's ambition for a $9 billion megaport, airport and city. Designed to rival China's investments around the Indian Ocean, New Delhi's colossal project will be built on Great Nicobar Island, a site offering a naval presence far closer to Southeast Asia than India's mainland.
