The Union Budget 2026-27 proposed the highest-ever total annual budgetary support of Rs. 2,761.80 crores for the fisheries sector. Fish production has increased to 197.75 lakh tonnes in FY 2024-25 from 95.79 lakh tonnes in FY 2013-14, increasing by a significant 106%. India ranks as the world’s second-largest fish-producing nation, accounting for approximately 8 percent of global output. The fisheries sector constitutes a vital component of national food security, employment generation, and income enhancement, particularly across coastal and rural economies. Reflecting its growing structural significance, fisheries account for nearly 7.43 percent of Agricultural Gross Value Added (GVA), the highest share among the agriculture and allied sectors.The Blue Revolution, launched in 2015, seeks to increase fish production and strengthen the fisheries value chain across inland and marine sectors by enhancing productivity, expanding infrastructure, and promoting modern practices. To build on these efforts and further advance post-harvest management, traceability, fisher welfare, and market linkages, the Government launched the Pradhan Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojana (PMMSY) in 2020 to accelerate the sector’s transformation.
