Mumbai Port Trust has embarked on a series of transformative initiatives, signing projects worth ?4,000 crore aimed at boosting infrastructure and enhancing operational capabilities. These initiatives are expected to modernise the port and contribute significantly to India's maritime and logistics sector.

This Rs.4,000 crore investment not only marks a pivotal moment for Mumbai Port but also positions it to play a leading role in India's maritime future.
