Andhra invites EoI for port construction, operation, maintenance

The Andhra Pradesh government has issued an Expression of Interest (EoI) inviting potential investors for the construction, development, operation and maintenance of ports in the state. The EoI outlines a comprehensive scope, covering areas like port modernisation, greenfield port development, cargo handling, environmental impact assessments and more, signalling the state’s commitment to building a world class maritime sector. Experts are, however, unclear if the EoI pertains to the three greenfield ports under development—Ramayapatnam in Nellore district, Machilipatnam in Krishna district and Mulapeta in Srikakulam district—with an investment of Rs 17,067 crore, or if it signals plans for new ports, as per a report.
