The Adani Group has pledged an additional ₹42,500 crore to expand the Dighi Port project in Maharashtra’s Konkan coastal belt, marking a major milestone in the state’s logistics and maritime infrastructure.
The commitment was made on the opening day of India Maritime Week as part of 15 agreements worth over ₹56,000 crore. Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis highlighted the significance of these developments, stating, “With all the MoUs, we will move towards achieving our goal of making Maharashtra a maritime superpower of India.”
This fresh investment follows Adani’s earlier ₹10,000 crore commitment after acquiring Dighi Port in 2021. The expansion aims to transform Dighi Port into a world-class logistics and warehousing hub, improving trade efficiency and industrial connectivity across the coastal region.
Other major announcements included ₹3,709 crore from JSW Group for Jaigad Port development and ₹5,000 crore from the Chowgule Group for shipbuilding. The state also plans to launch a water taxi service connecting Navi Mumbai Airport and South Mumbai’s Gateway of India, reinforcing Maharashtra’s ambition to strengthen its maritime and logistics ecosystem.
