A new berth container terminal, set up by DP World at Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust (JNPT) at Nhava Sheva near Mumbai, will be operational on 2 July, 2016.
Apart from easing congestion, the terminal will enhance the total container handling capacity at JNPT, to more than five million (twenty foot equivalent container units) TEUs.
The terminal, with a capacity to handle 0.8 million TEUs, has been set up with an investment of over USD 200 million, and is located next to the 1.2 million TEU-capacity Nhava Sheva International Container Terminal (NSICT), a DP World operated terminal at JNPT.
