India’s Emerging Global Maritime & Heritage Hub

Lothal is one of India’s most historically significant locations and is now being transformed into a future-ready maritime, tourism, and economic development zone. Located near Ahmedabad, Gujarat, Lothal is rapidly gaining national and global recognition due to the development of the National Maritime Heritage Complex (NMHC)—India’s largest and most ambitious maritime heritage and tourism project.

Rooted in the legacy of the ancient Indus Valley Civilization, Lothal was once a thriving port city and a key center of international trade over 4,500 years ago. Today, this historic land is being reimagined with world-class infrastructure, museums, cultural districts, waterfront developments, and tourism facilities, creating a unique fusion of heritage and modernity.

The NMHC will feature state-of-the-art maritime museums, heritage galleries, research centers, waterfront promenades, cultural performance zones, and immersive experiential attractions. Designed to attract millions of domestic and international tourists annually, the project is set to place Lothal on the global tourism and heritage map.
