The successful completion of the POC has the potential to disrupt aquaculture technology globally by multifold increases in growing densities with more predictability and traceability.
The inaugural ceremony was held at the POC Site in Tuticorin and Mr. Shaji Baby John, Chairman & Managing Director, Kings Infra Ventures Limited released the First seedlings in the experimental facility. The E-launch meeting which followed was attended by key members of the NEC team and the Kings Team.
