Future trade demands from Northern, Western, and Central India will be met by the terminal, which will also link those areas to international markets.
The terminal will be crucial to the government’s ambitious plan to turn India into a “Exports Hub” and assist the growth of direct and indirect jobs in several industries, including supply chain, distribution, and transportation.
In India, DP World currently runs five container terminals with a total capacity of about 6 million TEU. The installation of Tuna Tekra will increase DP World’s total capacity to 8.19 million TEU.
The terminal will fully adhere to green port regulations, ensuring sustainability in port operations and helping India’s government achieve its long-term sustainability objectives.
