According to the recent announcement, India's Maitri-2 research station in Antarctica will become active by the year 2029.
Maitri-2 research station will be located in East Antarctica.
The construction of this station has been divided into 4 parts.
These parts include tender, construction, appointment, agreement, etc.
India's current research center 'Maitri' is quite old.
Therefore it has become necessary to create a new research centre.
India has so far built three permanent research stations in Antarctica.
Their names are - Dakshin Gangotri, Maitri, and Bharati.
At present, only Maitri and Bharati Research Centers are functioning.
The Goa-based National Center for Polar and Ocean Research manages these research bases.
