The inaugurated facilities include an advanced cargo-handling terminal, enhanced logistics and warehousing setups, and upgraded berthing infrastructure. By addressing bottlenecks in existing facilities, the project is set to reduce congestion, optimize turnaround times, and make the port more competitive within the international shipping industry. The infrastructure expansion is also anticipated to contribute to regional economic growth by generating jobs and fostering the local supply chain.

Sonowal emphasized the government’s commitment to strengthening India's port capabilities under the Sagarmala initiative, which seeks to improve port-led development across the nation. With India's growing focus on self-reliance and global trade connections, investments in port infrastructure have become crucial for sustaining economic growth and facilitating exports and imports more effectively.
