PSA International has inaugurated Phase 2 of PSA Mumbai, making it India’s largest container terminal. The expansion doubles annual handling capacity to 4.8 million TEUs. The terminal now offers 2,000 metres of continuous quay, designed to accommodate multiple mega container vessels and support growing domestic and international trade.
The USD 1.3 billion (SGD 1.7 billion) investment is the largest foreign direct investment from Singapore in India to date. PSA India has been expanding steadily since its first investment in 1998 and now operates container terminals in Navi Mumbai and Chennai, container freight stations in Mumbai and Mundra, and supply chain services through PSA BDP.
The inauguration, held on 4 September 2025, featured virtual speeches from India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Singapore’s Prime Minister Lawrence Wong. A virtual foundation stone was unveiled to mark the opening of the new berths.
Ong Kim Pong, Group CEO of PSA International, said the expansion combines capacity, connectivity, and sustainability. “PSA Mumbai’s 4.8 million TEU capacity will strengthen supply chains and bolster PSA’s global port network. This milestone shows the power of public-private collaboration in advancing trade,” he said.
The terminal features six Dedicated Freight Corridor-compatible rail tracks connecting Jawaharlal Nehru Port to over 63 inland container depots. Once the Western DFC is fully operational, importers and exporters will benefit from faster, more efficient multimodal logistics.
Built on 200 hectares, PSA Mumbai integrates yard capacity, multimodal infrastructure, and renewable-powered electrical equipment. Diesel assets are progressively electrified to support sustainable operations.
The terminal has also created over 1,500 jobs, including crane operators, logistics coordinators, and systems analysts, offering higher-skilled employment in India’s port sector.
