Kandla Port to expand by 2030
01 Jan 2025 Editorial Team
The Deendayal Port Authority has
outlined plans to expand Kandla
Port’s capacity to 390 million
tonne per annum (MTPA) by
2030. This ambitious goal is part
of a larger initiative to modernise
India’s port infrastructure and
increase handling capacity,
catering to the growing demand
for goods and cargo. The
expansion will include the
construction of new berths, the
modernisation of existing
facilities, and the introduction of
advanced technologies to
improve cargo handling
efficiency. With its strategic
location on the western coast,
Kandla Port plays a vital role in
facilitating trade, especially with
countries in the Middle East,
Africa, and Europe. This capacity
increase will enable Kandla Port
to accommodate a larger
volume of cargo.
