Gujarat Pipavav Port (GPPL), owned 43.01 percent by A P M Terminals Management has initiated a capacity expansion project comprising a new liquid jetty and associated marine infrastructure.

Key infrastructure developments include new LPG/liquid berths, container berths, storage yards, railway sidings, and deepened navigation channels. The project is expected to boost cargo diversification, improve operational efficiency, and stimulate industrial growth in the Pipavav region. GPPL is seeking a concession extension beyond 2028, which is crucial for the project's long-term viability. The expansion aligns with commitments made at the Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit.

L&T Geostructure and Van Oord India will undertake construction, dredging, and reclamation works as part of the Rs 3,320 crore investment to enhance the port’s cargo handling capacity. This expansion aims to increase the port’s container handling capacity to 2.15 million TEUs, dry bulk to six MT, liquid cargo to 6.4 MT, and Ro-Ro capacity to 3,00,000 CEUs. Environmental clearance for the project was granted in June after previous delays caused by market conditions and concession uncertainties.
