Dighi Port's Big Leap: Adani Commits ₹42,500 Crore

The Adani Group has announced an additional ₹42,500 crore investment to expand the Dighi Port project in Maharashtra’s coastal Konkan region, further strengthening the state’s maritime infrastructure.

This commitment is part of 15 agreements worth a cumulative ₹56,000 crore, signed on the opening day of India Maritime Week. Highlighting the strategic importance of these investments, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said, “With all these MoUs, we are moving closer to realizing our vision of making Maharashtra the maritime superpower of India.”

The latest expansion follows Adani’s earlier ₹10,000 crore investment made after acquiring Dighi Port in 2021. Once completed, the project is expected to enhance port capacity, logistics efficiency, and industrial connectivity along the Konkan belt.

Other significant investments include ₹3,709 crore by JSW Group for Jaigad Port and ₹5,000 crore by Chowgule Group for shipbuilding infrastructure. The state government also announced plans to launch a water taxi service connecting Navi Mumbai Airport and Mumbai’s Gateway of India, further boosting coastal mobility and tourism.
