Maldives aims to attract more Indian tourists
INDIA NEWS | Sat, 28 Mar 2026, 3:44PM IST
Thiruvananthapuram, Maldivian, the national carrier of the Maldives, is planning to expand its operations in India as part of its aim to attract around 2 lakh Indian tourists, the airline said on Saturday.Following a brief strain in diplomatic ties with India after Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Lakshadweep, the Maldives is once again promoting its tourist destinations to Indian travellers."We never had any issues with India. In fact, the number of Indian tourists visiting the Maldives has gone up. India is also our biggest trade partner," Ibrahim Iyas, Managing Director of Maldivian, told reporters here.The airline interacted with the media while celebrating 18 years of service in India.Maldivian operates five flights a week from Kochi and Thiruvananthapuram.The airline is aiming to increase flights from India to the Maldives and is exploring options to start services from other parts of the country, especially southern states.Apart from Maldivian, Indian carriers also operate flights to the Maldives from various airports across India."Last year, we had over 1.3 lakh Indian tourists visiting the Maldives. Moreover, we have more than 1 lakh Indians as permanent residents in the Maldives. So our airline has mainly been operating as an essential service," Iyas said.He added that several private jets from India, mostly from Mumbai, also fly to the Maldives, bringing in tourists.Ahmed Shafeeu, Chairman of Island Aviation Services Ltd, which operates Maldivian, said the airline has been engaging with tour operators and government departments to grow the tourism segment."This is not just for tourism to the Maldives but also to promote India as a tourism destination for Maldivian travellers," he said.Shafeeu, who is also the Maldives' Minister for Higher Education, said many people in India consider the Maldives an expensive destination, but more affordable options are available."Our guesthouse tourism has grown significantly over the years. From zero guesthouses, we now have over 900 offering budget-friendly stays on the islands. Those seeking luxury resort stays can opt for them, and we also offer packages combining resort and guesthouse stays for a varied experience," he said.According to Mohammed Saffah, General Manager (Commercial - International) at Maldivian, the airline is also looking to expand its traveller base to include more tourists from India."From being an essential service catering to the regular needs of people in the Maldives and India, we are now aiming to carry more tourists in both directions," Saffah said.He said talks are underway with other airports in the country to begin operations to the Maldives."We are unable to confirm anything at this time," he added.He noted that with the largest domestic network in the Maldives, Maldivian provides seamless connections for travellers arriving from India to destinations across the country, linking them to resort islands, local communities, business hubs, and essential services.The Maldives has a tourism-driven economy, with the industry contributing about 60 per cent to its GDP.The country is also exploring options to increase trade with India, as it depends on India for most of its imports."With the Vizhinjam port fully operational, we expect it to boost India's exports to the Maldives," Iyas said.

Dalal Street Week Ahead: Avoid aggressive long positions; focus on capital preservation
INDIA NEWS | Sat, 28 Mar 2026, 3:04PM IST
The markets traded under sustained pressure through the week, exhibiting a clear downward bias and ending on a negative note. The Nifty oscillated in a wide intra-week range of 994 points, moving between 23,465.35 and 22,471.25 before settling near the lower end of the range.Volatility surged further; the India VIX, which had already risen sharply in the previous week, extended its upmove and gained another ~17.5% on a weekly basis, reflecting heightened uncertainty. Despite this corrective phase, Indian equities continued to relatively outperform weaker global peers. The Nifty ended the week with a net loss of 294.90 points (-1.28%).From a structural standpoint, the Nifty has violated and slipped below key short-term support levels, indicating a deterioration in the near-term trend. The index is now trading below its 50-week and 100-week moving averages and is approaching a critical support band.129862317The broader structure suggests a transition from consolidation to an extended corrective phase. With volatility expanding and prices weakening, the market remains vulnerable to further downside unless it swiftly reclaims lost levels.Any pullbacks towards overhead resistance zones are likely to face selling pressure, while sustained trade below immediate supports may trigger an extended decline.Given the truncated trading week, markets may begin on a cautious note with intermittent bouts of volatility. Immediate resistance levels are placed at 23,150 and 23,450, while supports come in at 22,450 and 21,700. The weekly RSI stands at 27.11, placing it in the oversold territory. While it has formed a 14-period low, it stays neutral and shows no visible bullish divergence against price, indicating continued weakness.The MACD remains bearish and is positioned below its signal line, with momentum still negative. The formation of a strong bearish candle on the weekly chart reinforces the prevailing downside pressure. Pattern analysis shows that the index has slipped below its short-to-medium-term moving averages, while the long-term 200-week moving average near 21,700 is now acting as a crucial support. The inability to hold above previous breakout zones suggests distribution at higher levels. The Index has dragged its overhead resistance levels lower as well.Given the current setup, a cautious and defensive approach is strongly recommended for the coming week. Traders should avoid aggressive long positions and instead focus on capital preservation. Any rebound should be used more to lighten positions instead of initiating fresh exposure. A highly selective, stock-specific approach with strict risk management is advised while closely monitoring volatility trends. In our look at Relative Rotation Graphs, we compared various sectors against the CNX500 (NIFTY 500 Index), representing over 95% of the free-float market cap of all the listed stocks.129862286129862302Relative Rotation Graphs (RRG) show that the Nifty PSE, Pharma, Energy, and Infrastructure Indices are inside the leading quadrant. They are likely to relatively outperform the broader markets. Metal, PSU, and the Financial Services groups are also inside this quadrant. While they may also relatively outperform, they are seen as giving up on their relative momentum against the broader markets.The Nifty Bank Index has rolled inside the weakening quadrant. The Auto and the Midcap 100 Indices are also in this quadrant. However, the Midcap 100 Index is seen improving on its relative momentum.The Nifty Services Sector Index has rolled inside the lagging quadrant. The Realty and the IT groups are also languishing inside this quadrant and may collectively underperform the broader Nifty 500 Index.The Nifty Media and the FMCG Indices are inside the improving quadrant.
