Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone (APSEZ) is India’s largest private port and special economic zone. It is the only private port infrastructure company with huge business engagements across six locations in India, Mundra, Dahej, Hazira and Kandla in Gujarat, Mormugao in Goa and Visakhapatnam. AKBTL has signed a concession agreement with Kandla Port Trust and it will set up a dry bulk terminal at Kandla Port on build, operate and transfer basis. Mr. Rajeeva Sinha, the Wholetime Director at APSEZ, said: “This is a testimony of the Government of India’s trust and confidence in Adani and its execution and operating skills to set up world class port infrastructure.” The project, on completion, will be one of the largest bulk terminals on the west coast of India with a capacity of about 20 million tonnes a year. At the cost of about INR 1,200 crores, the project is planned to begin its operations possibly in 24 months. With a strategic location off Tekra near Tuna outside Kandla creek at the Kandla port, it will handle cargo like coal, salt and other agri-products.
