With the inauguration of its Phase 2 expansion, PSA Mumbai is poised to become India’s largest container terminal, doubling its annual handling capacity to 4.8 million TEU per annum.
Designed to accommodate multiple mega container vessels alongside 2000m of continuous quay length, PSA Mumbai represents investment of SG$1.7bn (US$1.3bn billion) by PSA International under a public-private partnership model - the largest foreign direct investment from Singapore in India to date, according to PSA.
Kim Pong, PSA International Group CEO, Ong underlines the importance of the project, “PSA Mumbai’s Phase 2 expansion brings together capacity, connectivity and sustainability in a terminal for India – a catalyst for advancing India’s trade ambitions. PSA Mumbai’s enhanced capacity of 4.8 million TEU will reinforce the resilience of supply chains within and beyond India, and bolster PSA’s global network of port ecosystems.”
Constructed on 200ha of land, the new terminal brings together enhanced yard capacity and multimodal infrastructure. With electrical equipment already powered by renewable energy and progressive electrification of diesel assets, PSA Mumbai is “designed to increase trade sustainably,” according to the operator.
