The project also reflects Adani Ports' ongoing efforts to support the Indian government's initiatives to improve port infrastructure and logistics under the Sagarmala program. By enhancing cargo handling capacities and implementing cutting-edge technologies, Adani Ports aims to play a pivotal role in bolstering India's trade and economic growth.

With this new development at Deendayal Port, APSEZ continues to solidify its position as a key player in the global port operations landscape, driving forward its mission of fostering economic progress and infrastructure development.
