The question asks to identify the organization that published the report titled 'India's Blue Economy: Strategy for Harnessing Deep-Sea and Offshore Fisheries' in October 2025.

Report Details

• Report Title: 'India's Blue Economy: Strategy for Harnessing Deep-Sea and Offshore Fisheries'
• Release Date: October 2025

Options Provided:

• Indian Ocean Research Institute
• Marine Products Export Development Authority
• NITI Aayog
• National Fisheries Development Board

Explanation

The report focuses on national strategy and policy concerning the 'Blue Economy', specifically deep-sea and offshore fisheries. NITI Aayog, as India's premier policy think tank, is responsible for developing long-term strategies and promoting cooperative federalism among governments. Therefore, NITI Aayog is the most logical body to release a comprehensive strategy report on such a significant economic sector.

The other organizations have more specific mandates:

• The Indian Ocean Research Institute would likely focus on research rather than national strategy formulation.
• The Marine Products Export Development Authority (MPEDA) is primarily concerned with promoting exports.
• The National Fisheries Development Board (NFDB) focuses on the development and promotion of the fisheries sector within India.

NITI Aayog's role in policy and strategy makes it the most suitable body for releasing this report.
