Fisheries sector plays an important role in the Indian economy with significant contribution to national income, employment generation and food security to millions of people. Fisheries sector sustains the livelihoods of around 30 million people in India mostly belonging to the marginalized and vulnerable communities. India is the third largest fish producing country in the world accounting for 8% of global production and contributing about 1.09% to the country’s Gross Value Added (GVA) and over 6.724% to the agricultural GVA. Fish production in India reached 17.54 million tonnes in FY 2022-23. The fisheries sector recorded an outstanding double-digit annual growth of 10.87 per cent since 2014-15 (Economic survey, 2021-22). The marine fish landings in India pegged at 3.74 million tonnes in 2023. The mechanised sector contributed 2.8 million tonnes (79%), motorised sector contributed 0.71 million tonnes (20%) and nonmotorised sector 0.03 million tonnes (1%) (CMFRI, 2024). The estimated value of marine fish landings at landing centre level was ₹58,240 crores and at retail level at ₹79,860 crores (CMFRI, 2023).
