In a significant update on India’s maritime infrastructure, Minister of Ports, Shipping, and Waterways Sarbananda Sonowal revealed that construction of Machilipatnam [Andhra Pradesh] Port, which began in April 2023, is expected to be completed by October 2025. This non-major port, under the administrative control of the Government of Andhra Pradesh, is not included in the central government’s Sagarmala Scheme.
