Adani Group’s Vizhinjam Port (set to be completed by 2024) (near Thiruvananthapuram in Kerala), is poised to transform the country’s maritime infrastructure.

 

Features of the Port:

  • India’s first deepwater container transhipment
  • Proximity to international shipping routes connecting Europe, the Gulf and East Asia
  • This transhipment terminal can handle ultra-large ships and marks India’s entry into the transhipment club
  • It has the potential to compete with global ports like Colombo, Singapore, Port Klang, and Jebel Ali.
