Adani Ports likely to commission Berth No. 13 at DPA in FY27
Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Ltd (APSEZL), India’s largest port developer-cum-operator, has signed a concession agreement with Deendayal Port Authority (DPA) to develop Berth No. 13 at Deendayal Port, Kandla, Gujarat. APSEZL has incorporated a wholly owned subsidiary, DPA Container and Clean Cargo Terminal Limited (DPACCCTL), to carry out operations at the berth.
In July 2024, APSEZL had received the Letter of Intent (LoI) for the development, operation and maintenance of the berth for a 30-year concession period. APSEZL will develop the berth under DBFOT (Design, Build, Finance, Operate and Transfer) model for multipurpose clean cargo, including container cargo.
Berth No. 13 is 300 m long and offers 5.7 MMT capacity annually. It is likely to be commissioned in FY27, said a release.
“Berth No. 13 will diversify our presence at Deendayal Port. We will now handle multipurpose clean cargo at the port, in addition to dry bulk cargo that we already handle. The berth will further consolidate our position on the western coast and enhance our ability to service customers in Gujarat and north India,” said Mr Ashwani Gupta, Whole-time Director and CEO, APSEZ.
