In his speech following the commissioning of the Rs 8,686 crore project, he noted that 75 per cent of India’s trans-shipments had previously been carried out at foreign ports, resulting in a significant revenue loss.

“India’s coastal states and port cities will become key centres for the growth of a developed India,” the Prime Minister said.
