Motherson Partners with Dighi Port of Adani Ports for Dedicated Auto Exports Terminal

Motherson, through its joint venture Samvardhana Motherson Hamakyorex Engineered Logistics Limited (SAMRX), has signed an agreement with Dighi Port Limited (DPL), a subsidiary of Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Limited (APSEZ), to create a dedicated facility for automobile exports. 

This collaboration will position Dighi Port as the new terminal for vehicle exports from Mumbai to the Pune auto belt, supporting India’s automotive growth under the Make in India initiative.

RoRo Terminal Features

The new Roll on and Roll off (RoRo) terminal will feature advanced infrastructure to manage end-to-end Finished Vehicle (FV) logistics. SAMRX will invest in the facility to vertically integrate services, offering complete logistics solutions with 360-degree cargo visibility. 

The terminal will include single-window RoRo operations covering yard management, pre-delivery inspection (PDI), charging, storage, and vessel loading. AI-driven yard optimisation will enable near-zero dwell time and real-time vehicle tracking, while providing the fastest OEM evacuation route from Maharashtra’s auto belt via NH-66.

EV-Ready and OEM Integrated Facilities

The terminal will have a 1.3 km RoRo-ready jetty with sheltered waters for seamless all-weather operations. It will also support electric vehicle exports with EV-ready infrastructure. OEM-integrated visibility dashboards will facilitate load planning, live volume tracking, and efficient logistics management for automotive clients.

Strategic Importance of Dighi Port

Located on India’s west coast, Dighi Port serves as a gateway for Maharashtra’s landlocked industrial corridors. The port offers closed warehouses, tank farms, and open stockyards for commodity storage, along with direct berthing and excellent road connectivity. 

While historically handling oil, chemical, container, and bulk cargo, its expansion into RoRo operations reflects APSEZ’s vision of creating integrated, future-ready logistics hubs.
