Our Assessment
Seizure remains a material livelihood problem: a December 2024 parliamentary reply said 1,173 Indian fishing boats were held by Pakistan. Gujarat’s 2025–26 fisheries scheme summary records general boat and engine subsidies and ₹300-per-day support to families of fishermen in Pakistani custody. Those measures do not establish that owners of seized boats received new replacement boats. I could not verify a targeted replacement scheme, eligibility rules, procurement or deliveries, so this specific promise is Pending.
The reasoning behind the verdict
Why this assessment?
Reviewed
01 · Delivery status
Why pending?
The government documents establish both the seizure problem and related family-support and general boat-subsidy schemes. They do not identify a new-boat replacement benefit tied to Pakistani seizure or any boats delivered to affected owners.
Support for detained fishermen’s families and ordinary boat-purchase subsidies are distinct from a replacement boat for an owner whose boat was seized.
02 · Strength of evidence
Why low confidence?
The cited parliamentary reply and government scheme summary are direct official sources. Confidence remains low because no comprehensive state scheme register or beneficiary-level replacement record was found.
What would help us reassess?
The documents that could clarify delivery of this commitment.
- Gujarat scheme order defining replacement-boat eligibility after seizure by Pakistan
- Number of affected owners who received new boats, with delivery dates
- Expenditure, vessel specifications and current application process
Status describes delivery. Confidence describes the evidence.
