During the visit of Prime Minister Navin Ramgoolam to India, the Indian government unveiled a special economic package worth approximately $680 million (30 billion euros) aimed at enhancing cooperation in health, infrastructure, and maritime security sectors. This package encompasses various projects designed to strengthen bilateral ties between the two nations.

In a special briefing by Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri, he highlighted that a significant outcome of this visit was the decision to provide Mauritius with this economic package. Key components of the package include the development of the Port Louis harbor, support for the monitoring of the Chagos Marine Protected Area, mixed financial assistance in the form of grants, and loan support for major projects.

This announcement followed meaningful discussions between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Prime Minister Ramgoolam on various bilateral issues. According to the Prime Minister's Office, a preliminary agreement was reached on several projects based on requests from the Mauritian government, which will be jointly implemented by India and Mauritius. Under the special economic package, both countries have agreed on several significant initiatives, including the construction of the new Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam National Hospital, an AYUSH excellence center, a veterinary school, and a veterinary hospital, along with the provision of helicopters for Mauritius. The total estimated cost for these projects and assistance is around $215 million (approximately 9.80 billion Mauritian rupees).

On the strategic front, India and Mauritius have also agreed to collaborate on the redevelopment and restructuring of the Mauritius port. Additionally, both nations will work together on the environmentally significant project concerning the development and monitoring of the Chagos Marine Protected Area. Furthermore, the Indian government has committed to providing $25 million in budgetary support for ongoing initiatives and bilateral projects for the current fiscal year.
