Environmental Review Slows Mega Projects, Brings Stability to Land Prices
Campbell Bay | May 2025:
The environmental scrutiny over the proposed 130.75 sq km land diversion for mega infrastructure projects in Great Nicobar has led to a temporary halt in approvals, pausing momentum for large-scale real estate development.

As a result, commercial plot prices in Campbell Bay have stabilized, bringing relief to local stakeholders concerned about unsustainable growth. Investors are now adopting a wait-and-watch approach, as the environmental review committee reassesses the balance between development and ecological preservation.

This pause is seen as a critical reset to align future realty plans with sustainability mandates, particularly in a biodiversity-sensitive zone like Great Nicobar.
