Adani Gangavaram Port acquires new equipment

Visakhapatnam Adani Gangavaram Port, the deepest and the most modern port in the country has enhanced its infrastructure facilities by inducting new cargo handling equipment.

The step is a part of Adani Gangavaram Port strategic investment plan to enhance capacity and productivity at the port. The cargo handling equipment includes two new grabs (capacity - 46 CBM each) and two new cargo hoppers (capacity - 60 MTs each). With a capital outlay of Rs 6 crore the new equipment will augment port capability to handle cargo with efficiency and result in shorter turnaround time.

AGPL has already inducted new railway locomotives, new warehousing, roads and railway infrastructure with investment of Rs 45 crore in this financial year. The railway facilities will allow direct handling of the entire rake at the warehouse and storage without any inter-carting. Apart from this AGPL is currently investing in an integrated warehouse intended to provide state-of- the art handling and storage facilities for agri and fertilizer cargoes at an estimated investment of over Rs 275 crore which is all likely to be operational in 2024.
