Adanis Colachel Terminal Operational by Dec 2024

The first phase of the Colachel International Container Transhipment Terminal (CWIT) in Tamil Nadu is expected to be operational by December 2024, according to Karan Adani, CEO of Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone (APSEZ). The CWIT project, located in the Colachel region of Kanyakumari, is a significant initiative to enhance India's maritime infrastructure and boost transhipment capabilities.

Adani provided this timeline during a recent industry interaction. The Colachel terminal is strategically positioned to serve as a transhipment hub, capitalising on its proximity to international shipping routes. The development aligns with India's efforts to strengthen its maritime connectivity and leverage its vast coastline for economic growth.

The Colachel project has been a focal point for APSEZ, aiming to cater to the increasing demand for container handling and transhipment services. Once operational, the terminal is anticipated to play a pivotal role in facilitating efficient cargo movement and reducing reliance on foreign transhipment hubs.

The project's phased approach is designed to expedite its commissioning, with the first operational phase slated for December 2024. This aligns with the broader vision of enhancing India's port infrastructure and fostering greater connectivity for maritime trade.

The CWIT project is part of APSEZ's commitment to expanding its port network and contributing to the development of India's maritime logistics ecosystem. The Colachel terminal's strategic location is expected to make it a key player in the transhipment landscape, potentially attracting significant shipping traffic and bolstering India's position as a maritime trade hub.
