01 Apr 2024

Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone (APSEZ) has officially assumed control over India's largest ore handling complex located at the Visakhapatnam (Vizag) port following the receipt of necessary security clearance. The takeover marks a significant milestone for Adani Ports as it expands its presence in the crucial port infrastructure sector.

The ore handling complex at Vizag port, previously managed by the Visakhapatnam Port Trust (VPT), has now come under the operational purview of Adani Ports. This development is part of the government's initiative to privatise certain port operations to improve efficiency and attract private investment in the maritime sector.

Adani Ports, a leading player in the port and logistics industry, aims to leverage its expertise and resources to enhance the operational efficiency and productivity of the ore handling complex. The company's entry into Vizag port is expected to bring about modernization and technological advancements in the handling of ore shipments, thereby boosting the overall efficiency of port operations.

The takeover of the ore handling complex underscores Adani Ports' commitment to strengthening its foothold in India's port infrastructure landscape. With its vast network of ports and terminals across the country, Adani Ports is poised to play a crucial role in facilitating trade and commerce while driving economic growth.

Furthermore, the successful acquisition of the ore handling complex at Vizag port reaffirms Adani Ports' position as a key player in the development and management of port infrastructure in India. This strategic move is expected to yield long-term benefits for both Adani Ports and the broader maritime industry in the country.
