Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Singaporean Prime Minister Lawrence Wong on Thursday virtually inaugurated Phase 2 of the Bharat Mumbai Container Terminal (PSA Mumbai), developed by PSA International at the Jawaharlal Nehru Port Authority (JNPA) in Navi Mumbai.

With the commissioning of Phase 2, PSA Mumbai has doubled its annual handling capacity to 4.8 million TEUs, making it India’s largest container terminal. The terminal, spanning 2,000 metres of continuous quay length, has been designed to handle multiple mega container vessels simultaneously, supporting both domestic and global trade flows.

The expansion represents Singapore’s largest foreign direct investment in India to date, with SGD 1.7 billion (USD 1.3 billion / approximately Rs 109 billion) committed under a public-private partnership (PPP) model.

Ong Kim Pong, Group CEO of PSA International, said:

“PSA Mumbai’s Phase 2 expansion brings together capacity, connectivity, and sustainability, serving as a catalyst for India’s trade ambitions.”

Built across 200 hectares, the facility combines enhanced yard capacity with multimodal infrastructure, strengthening India’s maritime and inland logistics network.

PSA highlighted that the terminal is powered by renewable energy, with plans to progressively electrify diesel-based assets, making it a sustainable hub for trade growth.

The Phase 2 expansion marks a major leap in India-Singapore cooperation in maritime infrastructure, positioning JNPA as the country’s most advanced container gateway.
