Adani's Rs.450 Bn Mundra Port Expansion Gets Green Nod

Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone (APSEZ) has received environmental clearance for its ambitious ?450 billion capacity expansion project at Mundra port in Gujarat. This approval marks a significant milestone in APSEZ's efforts to enhance its operational capabilities and solidify its position as a key player in India's maritime trade sector.

The expansion project at Mundra port, one of the country's largest commercial ports, aims to increase its cargo handling capacity to meet growing demand and accommodate larger vessels. The project includes the development of new berths, terminals, and supporting infrastructure to streamline operations and improve efficiency.

APSEZ's strategic expansion plan aligns with India's goal of boosting maritime infrastructure to facilitate trade and economic growth. Mundra port plays a crucial role in handling various commodities, including containers, crude oil, coal, and agricultural products, contributing significantly to India's import and export activities.

The environmental clearance, granted by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, underscores APSEZ's commitment to sustainable development practices. The project incorporates measures to minimise environmental impact, such as advanced pollution control technologies and adherence to stringent regulatory standards.

Upon completion, the Mundra port expansion is expected to create employment opportunities, stimulate local economies, and bolster Gujarat's industrial infrastructure. The project's scale and strategic location along the western coast of India further enhance its importance in facilitating global trade routes and enhancing connectivity.

APSEZ is poised to leverage this expansion to cater to future growth in maritime trade, supporting India's ambitions to strengthen its logistics and shipping capabilities on the global stage.

No glass boxes!

India is moving away from the ‘glass box’ syndrome, all-glass façades that were widely used in commercial buildings in the last two decades but came at a significant environmental cost given the country’s predominantly hot and humid climate. Poor thermal performance, excessive heat gain and dependency on mechanical cooling systems made buildings with glass façades energy guzzlers and significantly increased their carbon footprint.That said, it’s important to be aware that “glass is not the enemy,” points out Heena Bhargava, Architect, Architecture Discipline. “How it ..
