The high-level delegation reviewed the terminal’s preparedness ahead of its formal inauguration, which will substantially expand container handling capacity at India’s busiest container port.

The visit underscored deepening India–Singapore collaboration in infrastructure, with both sides confident that the expansion will drive trade growth, create jobs, and contribute to Maharashtra’s economic development.
Officials emphasised BMCT’s strategic role in enhancing India’s trade competitiveness and supporting the country’s export-import ecosystem.
