The project, costing US$500 million, is the largest single-operator container terminal currently planned in India and the first in the country to operate in a Special Economic Zone (SEZ). Construction is expected to be completed in four years and commercial operations to begin within a year of completion. The first phase of the new terminal will have a capacity of one million TEU and cost approximately US$135 million.
