Kerala Govt to rejuvenate Vizhinjam Port
With a 72-foot draught and low dredging requirements,
Vizhinjam is the deepest in the country. The port’s revitalization as Vizhinjam
International Seaport
Limited may be a game changer for the marine sector. The Rs 7,525-crore
Vizhinjam deep-water, multipurpose, international seaport and container trans-shipment terminal is being built under the PPP mode. The Kerala government has awarded Adani Ports and SEZ a 40-year contract with the option to extend it for another 20 years. Minister for Ports A Devarkovil and the Adani Group announced the project would be completed by December 2023.
