President Murmu launches major Kandla Port upgrade works

The President of India, Droupadi Murmu, laid the foundation stone of four projects of Deendayal Port Authority, Kandla, Gujarat. These projects, worth over Rs 2.80 billion, will enhance port infrastructure and boost its logistics performance. It will also help the economic growth of the entire hinterland.

These projects will also improve the cargo handling capacity of the port, along with the turnaround time of ships, and help in faster evacuation of cargo.

The construction of new dome-shaped godowns inside the cargo jetty area, with a project cost of Rs 695.10 million, will give them extended working height, resulting in more cargo handling and greater suitability for unloading bulk cargo through hydraulic system by trucks/transport vehicles of the fifth generation.

The upgradation of plots and storm water drains in a 66-hectare area inside the cargo jetty area, with a project cost of Rs 800 million, will upgrade the plots/storage area with utility services like concrete roads, storm water drains, and facilities for workers.

The upgradation of plots, roads and drains in another 40-hectare area, with a project cost of Rs 470 million, will increase the handling and storage capacity inside the custom bonded area and help in boosting import/export of dry cargo with a capacity of 880,000 million tonnes.

Another project is the upgradation of Tuna Road from two-lane to four-lane, with a project cost of Rs 873.20 million.
