PFC's support aligns with the government's vision to upgrade the nation's port infrastructure and increase maritime trade efficiency. With this major financial infusion, the Vadhavan Port project is on track to becoming a key asset in India's maritime infrastructure, driving economic growth and positioning the country as a global trade hub.
