Adani Ports and Evergreen join Vadhavan port development plans

Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone (APSEZ) has signed two Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) with the Jawaharlal Nehru Port Authority (JNPA) to take part in the development of India’s upcoming Vadhavan Port, a major infrastructure project on the country’s western coast.

Valued at a combined USD 6 billion, the agreements will see APSEZ involved in developing three cargo terminals, marine service infrastructure, and land reclamation, as well as the construction and maintenance of offshore protection structures.

In a separate initiative, Evergreen has also signed an MoU with JNPA to participate in terminal development at the same site. Other major global operators, including APM Terminals, MSC’s Terminal Investment Limited (TIL), and HMM, have signed similar cooperation agreements.

According to DynaLiners, these collaborations mark a significant step forward in India’s ambition to establish Vadhavan as a next-generation deepwater port, designed to enhance the country’s trade capacity and strengthen its position in global maritime logistics.
