Exclusive Economic Zone

According to UNCLOS, the EEZ is a region that is outside of and close to the territorial sea and is subject to a unique legal system where the relevant articles of this Convention apply to the rights and jurisdiction of the coastal State as well as the rights and freedoms of other States.
It is outlined as a region that, usually speaking, extends 200 nautical miles from the coast and in which the coastal state has both the right to explore and use the region’s resources and the duty to manage and conserve both living and non-living ones.

Indian Law

The Exclusive Economic Zone and Other Maritime Zones Act of 1976 governs India’s territorial waters, continental shelf, and maritime zones.
The limit of India’s EEZ, which extends outside and next to its territorial seas, is 200 nautical miles from the international date line.
The line at each point twelve nautical miles from the closest point of the proper baseline is the boundary of India’s territorial waters.
All foreign ships, including submarines and other underwater vehicles, that are not warships are granted the freedom to pass through the territorial waters in an uninvolved manner.
Passage that doesn’t threaten India’s security, stability, or peace is considered to be innocent.

1982 saw the adoption of the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea

The UNCLOS is a global agreement that establishes rules for using the world’s oceans and seas.
It establishes guidelines for all uses of the oceans and their resources, establishing a complete regime of law and order throughout the world’s oceans and seas.
It affirms the idea that all issues pertaining to ocean space are intricately tied to one another and must be handled as a whole.
Ratification: The Convention was made available for signing at Montego Bay, Jamaica, in December 1982.
In accordance with its article 308, the Convention came into effect in November 1994, twelve months following the date of the deposit of the sixty-first instrument of ratification or accession.
Today, it is the widely acknowledged system in charge of resolving all issues pertaining to the law of the sea.
167 states (164 United Nations (UN) member states plus Palestine, a UN Observer state, the Cook Islands, and Niue) and the European Union are among the 168 parties that have ratified the agreement. The convention has been signed by 14 more UN members, but they have not yet done so.

The US has yet to ratify the UN Law of the Seas, but India did so in 1995.
