India Approves Redevelopment of New Mangalore Port to Increase Liquid Bulk Capacity and Efficiency

The Indian government has given the green light to a redevelopment project for the New Mangalore Port Authority. The plan focuses on boosting the port’s capacity for handling liquid bulk cargoes such as oil and chemicals. Upgrades will include modernising infrastructure and improving cargo handling systems. Officials say the project will enhance overall maritime efficiency in the region. The redevelopment is expected to attract more shipping traffic and trade. It aligns with broader efforts to strengthen India’s coastal logistics network. The port authority will oversee implementation and coordinate with stakeholders. The initiative is slated to begin later this year, with completion targeted within a few years.
