India's largest port project seeks ₹30,000 crore debt
India is gearing up for its biggest port yet—Vadhvan Port—which plans to raise ₹30,000 crore (about $3.5 billion) in long-term loans from both Indian and global markets.
The project is mostly owned by Jawaharlal Nehru Port Authority, with support from the Maharashtra Maritime Board, and is a key part of PM Modi's big infrastructure vision.
TL;DR
India will have 1 of the largest ports by 2030
Set to cost $9 billion, Vadhvan Port aims to handle 23 million containers a year by the decade's end—making it one of the world's largest.
Thanks to its deep waters, even the biggest ships can dock here, helping India become a bigger player in global trade.
IDBI Capital will lead the fundraising effort, while JNPA and MMB are putting in ₹13,000 crore as equity.
