JN Port to kickstart Rs 8 bn container loading project

Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust is expected to take a decision soon regarding the deadlock of Rs 800 crore container loading facility project being developed by DP World. The proposed facility, with a capacity to load 800,000 standard containers a year, is crucial to JN Port's expansion plans. However, the project failed to take off as mangroves have grown on the land. It will now serve as a back-up area for storing containers. Contact: Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust. Tel: 022- 2724 2219.
