INDIA – Delhi HC Crushes ‘Make In India’ Notification Giving Indian Built Ships Preference
Under the ‘Make in India’ program, the Delhi High Court (HC) quashed a notification that provided preferential commercial treatment for ‘Indian built ships.’ The Court stated that the 1958 Merchant Shipping Act, under which the notification was allegedly issued, was not concerned with the location where the ship was built; it was concerned only with ship ownership.
