Jawaharlal Nehru Port Authority
ESTIMATED50% CONFIDENCEUnion shipping minister Sarbananda Sonowal is reported as saying the first phase of Vadhavan is "on track to become operational by 2029", a year rather than a fixed day, so the pin takes the last day of 2029.[1]
India's first offshore port built on reclaimed land off Vadhavan, with a 20 m draft deep enough for 233,000 DWT container ships, is being built by Vadhavan Port Project Limited, a company of the Jawaharlal Nehru Port Authority (74 per cent) and the Maharashtra Maritime Board. The 76,220 crore rupee port broke ground on 30 August 2024 and its first phase is to handle 6.85 million TEUs by 2030.
