Adani Vizhinjam International Seaport, developed by Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Ltd. (APSEZ), has achieved a significant milestone by handling 2 million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) within just 18 months of operations, making it the fastest Indian port to reach this achievement. The port commenced trial operations in July 2024 and was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in May 2025. Its strategic location along the Indian Ocean corridor enhances its appeal for global shipping lines, especially amid geopolitical tensions and supply chain disruptions. Since its opening, Vizhinjam has managed over 950 vessels, including 67 Ultra Large Container Vessels (ULCVs), and is capable of servicing next-generation container ships. The port is positioned to reduce India's reliance on foreign ports for transshipment, aiming to retain a larger share of cargo domestically. A Phase 2 expansion is currently underway, with an investment of approximately ₹16,000 crore, expected to further enhance its capacity and operational efficiency by 2028.
