Construction of Wadhavan port to start this year

The government is reportedly planning to develop an all-weather port at Wadhavan, 140 km north to Mumbai. Construction of the port is expected to begin this year, and will have nine berths for large container ships. The move comes at a time when the government has stated its goal to make India one of the top ten global container port hubs.
