Ports Ministry Gets Rs.33 Bn Proposals from Andhra Pradesh

The Ministry of Ports has received 29 proposals from Andhra Pradesh, amounting to ?33 billion. These proposals aim to boost port infrastructure and enhance connectivity in the region.

The projects focus on various developmental aspects, including upgrading existing facilities and establishing new logistics hubs. This initiative aligns with the government's vision to expand maritime capabilities and support economic growth.

Key proposals include the modernization of ports, construction of new berths, and development of inland waterways. These enhancements are expected to improve cargo handling efficiency and reduce logistical costs.

These projects are part of a larger effort to integrate ports with industrial corridors, thereby fostering seamless trade routes. The government is keen on leveraging these developments to boost export capabilities and enhance supply chain resilience.

Officials emphasise the potential of these projects to generate employment and stimulate regional development. With improved infrastructure, Andhra Pradesh could become a pivotal maritime hub, contributing significantly to the national economy.

The Ministry of Ports is reviewing these proposals, with plans to expedite approvals and commence work at the earliest. This initiative is expected to transform the region?s maritime landscape, driving economic prosperity and strengthening India's global trade presence.
