Indian Companies Set for Maldives' Gulhifalhu Port Project Bid

The Maldives' strategic infrastructure development initiative gains momentum as plans for the expansion of the Gulhifalhu Port move forward. Indian companies are poised to participate in the project, with an Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) tender anticipated to be issued in the fiscal year 2023-2024 (FY24). This development marks a significant step in strengthening bilateral ties between India and the Maldives.

Gulhifalhu Port, located near the capital city Malé, holds paramount importance in facilitating maritime trade and commerce for the Maldives. The expansion project aims to enhance the port's capacity and modernise its infrastructure to accommodate larger vessels, ultimately boosting the country's trade capabilities and economic growth.

The upcoming EPC tender is expected to attract bids from prominent Indian firms specialising in port and shipping infrastructure. This aligns with India's commitment to supporting the Maldives' developmental aspirations and reinforcing its role as a key partner in the Indian Ocean region.

The collaboration between Indian companies and the Maldivian government on this strategic project reflects the shared vision of regional connectivity and economic prosperity. As the EPC tender process unfolds in FY24, all eyes are on the transformative potential of this venture, which not only contributes to the Maldives' economic resilience but also strengthens the enduring friendship between the two nations.
