<Abstract>India__ampersandsign#39;s vast shoreline, offshore assets, economic interests and blue economy must all be protected and this requires credible maritime security. Being an important entity for international trade, the Indian Ocean is becoming more and more exposed to security risks like smuggling, terrorism, and piracy. Due to these threats to India__ampersandsign#39;s offshore oil and gas infrastructure, key shipping routes, and Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), improved maritime and coastal security is crucial for maintaining regional and national stability. In this article, the dangers of maritime terrorism and other border security issues are discussed in relation to the evolving threats to India__ampersandsign#39;s maritime borders. It analyses India__ampersandsign#39;s plans to improve shoreline and offshore security through enforcing maritime law, interdisciplinary coordination and improved maritime capabilities. India__ampersandsign#39;s involvement in regional cooperation initiatives, international security frameworks, and strategic partnerships aimed at mitigating these risks are also looked at in the article. In combating maritime threats, particular attention is paid to the function of the Indian Coast Guard, Indian Navy, and specialist anti-terrorism troops. The article analyses India__ampersandsign#39;s mitigating procedures by presenting case studies of regional maritime terrorist occurrences. Research Question: How can India enhance its maritime security measures to effectively address the evolving threats of maritime terrorism, piracy, and other border security challenges to its offshore assets, shipping routes, and Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ)?</Abstract>
