Adani Ports boosts investment to ₹10,000 crore for Kerala's Vizhinjam transshipment terminal, aiming for completion by 2028.
Vizhinjam port, near India's southern tip, aims to attract the world's largest ships with its deep shipping channels.
Maersk's first container vessel arrives at Vizhinjam on July 12 for a trial run in the 800-meter container berth.
Adani Ports targets major lines like MSC, Maersk, and Hapag-Lloyd to call at Vizhinjam, enhancing India's maritime presence.
Funds will extend the port's berth and breakwater, increasing capacity and strengthening infrastructure.
The terminal will add bunkering facilities, additional cranes, and a cruise terminal for luxury lines.
Vizhinjam's proximity to global shipping routes and deep channels positions it as an ideal hub for major ships.
