The terminal was inaugrated by the Minister for Shipping and Road Transport and Highways, Nitin Gadkari, after the berthing of the project's first vessel MV Sheng Ming, earlier in the day.

The terminal has been completed within the stipulated time frame. The consortium led by APSEZ, formed an SPV named Adani Kandla Bulk Terminal (AKBTPL) after winning the contract in June 2012, to set up the bulk terminal.

The termlnal is connected to the National Highway grid through NH-8A coming from Ahmedabad via Wankaner, Morbi, and terminates at the Kandla Port. It is expected to benefit the states of Gujarat, Rajasthan, Haryana, Punjab and Madhya Pradesh amongst others.

Adani will now aim to complete the container terminal project at Kamarajar Port.

APSEZ also operates ports in Mundra, Hazira and Dahej, in Gujarat; and Dhamra in Odisha, and operates specialized coal handling facilities in Mormugao in Goa, and Visakhapatnam in Andhra Pradesh.
