Adani Ports & Special Economic Zone Ltd. was selected on Monday to develop the Tajpur deep sea port in West Bengal at a planned investment of Rs 25,000 crore, of which Rs 15,000 crore will go toward port development and the rest toward building related infrastructure.
The latest win adds more muscle to India’s largest private sector port operator, which already has a 30 per cent domestic market share and has been securing global contracts, including the Haifa port project in Israel and a port terminal in Sri Lanka.
The West Bengal government expects to create 25,000 direct jobs and over 100,000 indirect jobs through this port, which is about 105 miles from the state capital of Kolkata.
