Adani Ports & SEZ Limited, India's largest port developer and part of the Adani Group, will commission its dry bulk cargo handling terminal at Tuna Tekra in record time by December 2014. The Group shared this development with prospective clients during a trade meet last week.

The meet, organised by APSEZ to make this announcement and showcase the salient features of the project, received unprecedented response, and was attended by more than 60 to 65 representatives from almost every major shipping agency/line as well as CHAs operating in the region. Attendees were given a detailed presentation on the upcoming facility and were also taken on a guided tour of the terminal.

An Adani spokesman said that 'Adani Group has always believed in the idea of nation-building through creation of world class infrastructure. It gives me immense pleasure to announce that our dry bulk terminal at Tuna Tekra will be commissioned by December 2014. It will be a game-changer for ex im trade of the north west hinterland, on account of its strategic location, infrastructural prowess and operational efficiency. The response to recent event only echoes our belief in the potential of this dry bulk terminal to benefit the states of Gujarat, Rajasthan, Haryana, Punjab and Madhya Pradesh, amongst others.'

Adani Ports won the right to develop a dry bulk terminal with cargo handling capacity of 14.112 million tonnes per annum at Tuna Tekra, Kandla Port in February 2012 under a concession agreement with Kandla Port Trust.
