Notably, Essel Group Chairman and Rajya Sabha MP Subhash Chandra had played an important role in forming the India Cruise Lines Association (INCLA) last year. INCLA had petitioned Union Minister for Shipping, Road Transport, Highways, River Development and Ganga Rejuvenation Nitin Gadkari and the Primeꦰ Minister’s Office (PMO) to allow gambling and casinos onboard cruise vessels and permit Foreign Diꦛrect Investment (FDI) in the casino sector🎶.
The association in its petition to the PMO had indicated that currently casino operations can be conducted on cruise vessels beyond 12/200 nautical miles from the Indian coastline, i.e. outside the Indian territorial waters and had urged the government to allow casinos to operate in cruise vessels eꦇven within the Indian territorial waters.
It remains unclear whether 🎃Jalesh Cruises will be offering casino services to its customers within the Indian territorial waters or if casino🌊 services will be made available only after the ship crosses the Indian coastline. The legality of casinos operating in Indian cruise ships with (primarily) Indian customers outside Indian territorial waters remains unclear.
