The Vizhinjam International Port in Kerala will become a crucial hub for India’s maritime trade, reducing reliance on foreign ports like Colombo and Singapore. The deep-water port will be able to accommodate large container ships (over 18,000 TEU) thanks to its 20-meter depth and strategic location on global shipping routes.
Developed by Adani Ports, the project includes automated terminals and logistics parks. Once operational, the port will boost import-export operations, create thousands of jobs, and strengthen India’s position in global trade.
Despite delays due to land and environmental issues, the first phase of construction is nearing completion. The port’s opening will unlock new economic opportunities for Kerala and the entire country.
