Dighi Port Limited

Dighi Port Limited is the first green field port in Maharashtra, established in 2000. It operates under a 50-year "Build, Own, Operate, Share & Transfer (BOOST)" Concession Agreement signed with Maharashtra Maritime Board (MMB). The port has currently commissioned the longest quay length in Maharashtra and is set to become the largest green field port in the state, with an overall capacity of 30 million tonnes and an investment of Rs. 2500 crores. Additionally, approximately 1500 crores will be invested in road and rail connectivity projects. Dighi Port is strategically located as the largest node of the ‘Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor’ (DMIC) planned in Maharashtra and one of the seven Mega National Investment and Manufacturing Zones (NIMZ) under the Indian government’s new Manufacturing Policy. The industrial development in and around the port is further supported by the planned port-based Special Economic Zone (SEZ) and Free Trade Warehousing Zone (FTWZ). In its Phase I development, the port has undertaken the development of 5 multi-purpose berths with a deep draft of 14.5m and has already commissioned two of them. It handles various cargoes and has successfully managed vessels with a DWT of up to 1,55,000 Mts. Moreover, Dighi Port is the only port in Maharashtra, following Dhabol, to have all clearances for setting up an LNG Terminal. The most recent investment in the company was an INR1.00B Private Equity Round investment on 01 October 2010, by IL&FS Investment Managers. With its strategic location, extensive capacity, and planned infrastructure development, Dighi Port Limited showcases potential for continued growth and significance within the logistics industry in India.
