Gujarat Pipavav Port Begins Expansion With Rs 33.20 Bn Investment

Gujarat Pipavav Port (GPPL), part-owned by A P M Terminals, has launched a major expansion project involving a new liquid jetty, additional berths, and cargo handling infrastructure. The development supports capacity growth and cargo diversification aligned with commitments made at the Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit.

The Rs 33.20 billion project includes LPG and liquid cargo berths, container storage yards, deepened navigation channels, and dedicated railway sidings. The expansion aims to boost container handling to 2.15 million TEUs, dry bulk to 6 million tonnes, liquid cargo to 6.4 million tonnes, and Ro-Ro to 3 lakh CEUs.

L&T Geostructure and Van Oord India will manage construction, dredging, and reclamation work. Environmental clearance was granted in June following previous delays.

GPPL is also seeking a concession extension beyond 2028 to secure long-term viability. The initiative is expected to spur industrial growth in the Pipavav region and enhance operational efficiency across India’s maritime network.
