Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Shri Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy launched work on the Machilipatnam Port, which is estimated to cost Rs 5,156 crore and will have an initial capacity to move 35 million tons of cargo.
The port, with an initial cargo capacity of 35 million tonnes, will be completed in two years.
The capacity of the 4-berth deep water port will be increased to 116 million tonnes as cargo traffic gradually increases.
The port will help develop Machilipatnam on the lines of developed port cities like Mumbai and Chennai as it will be connected by National Highway 216 and Gudivada-Machilipatnam railway line soon.
This will increase the reach of the port and improve connectivity.
It is a proposed deep sea port on the Bay of Bengal coast located at Machilipatnam, the district headquarters of Krishna district in Andhra Pradesh.
