Adani Group Commits ₹42,500 Crore in Dighi Port Project Expansion

The Adani Group has pledged a massive ₹42,500 crore investment to expand Dighi Port in Maharashtra’s Konkan region, marking one of the largest port infrastructure commitments in the state’s history. 

The announcement came during India Maritime Week, where Maharashtra unveiled 15 investment agreements worth ₹56,000 crore, signalling a renewed push to strengthen the state’s maritime and logistics ecosystem.

Major Investment and Expansion Plans

The new memorandum of understanding (MoU) between Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Ltd (APSEZ) and the Maharashtra Government will facilitate the large-scale expansion of Dighi Port and the surrounding industrial infrastructure. The project aims to develop a robust logistics hub along the state’s coastline and enhance Maharashtra’s role in India’s maritime trade network.

Adani Group, led by Gautam Adani, had acquired the bankrupt Dighi Port in 2021 for ₹705 crore and committed ₹10,000 crore for its revival. With this latest infusion, the group’s total investment now exceeds ₹52,500 crore, underlining its long-term intent to transform Dighi Port into a key maritime and industrial gateway.

Infrastructure, Innovation, and Global Collaboration

Beyond port expansion, Maharashtra’s maritime blueprint includes new connectivity and technology initiatives. Plans are underway to launch India’s first water taxi service from the Adani-operated Navi Mumbai Airport to the Gateway of India, and to develop a world-class marina in Mumbai to boost water transport and tourism. 

The state also signed MoUs to create technology centres, training programmes, and centres of excellence for maritime talent, in collaboration with IIT Bombay. Global investors from the UAE, the Netherlands, and Sweden have shown interest in co-developing maritime infrastructure within the state.
