Adani Group has committed to an additional Rs 42,500 crore investment to expand the Dighi Port project in the coastal Konkan belt of Maharashtra.
This investment is part of 15 agreements, collectively worth over Rs 56,000 crore, signed on the opening day of India Maritime Week. Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis highlighted the importance of these investments for the state's maritime prospects, stating, "I am sure that with all the MoUs, we will actually move forward towards achieving our goal of making Maharashtra a maritime superpower of India." The Dighi Port expansion follows Adani’s earlier Rs 10,000 crore commitment after acquiring the port in 2021.
Other major investments include Rs 3,709 crore by JSW Group for Jaigad Port and Rs 5,000 crore by Chowgule Group for shipbuilding. Additionally, Maharashtra plans to introduce a water taxi service connecting Navi Mumbai airport and South Mumbai's Gateway of India.
