Minister of Business and Com­pe­ti­ti­ve­ness Martin Lidegaard is leading a Danish business delegation to India. Green shipping is among the visit’s focus areas, with the Danish delegation visiting both APM Terminals Mumbai and the Mazagon Dock shipyard.

Danish-operated ships made more than 3,000 calls at Indian ports in 2025. This illustrates how important India is as a market for Danish shipping. Its importance will only increase as the Indian economy grows. Danish shipping is seeing growth in India across several segments, including container, dry bulk and tanker shipping.

“India is becoming an increasingly important partner for Denmark – economically, te­ch­no­lo­gi­cal­ly and geopolitically. The country has major ambitions in areas including green shipping, renewable energy and artificial intelligence. Denmark has strong expertise that can contribute to India’s transition. I am travelling to India to learn from the pace and scale of its development, strengthen our partnerships and open doors for Danish businesses,” says Minister for Business, Com­pe­ti­ti­ve­ness and Maritime Affairs Martin Lidegaard (Our translation, Ed.) in a press release.
