It will be a modern and mechanised cargo bulk terminal. It would likely to knob cargo like coal, fertiliser, salt, minerals and agro products.


Kandla Port terminal will have the capacity to manage 20 million tonnes of cargo. The project costs around 1200 crore rupees and to be completed within 24 months.  Kandla port is the only private sector port which has six ports locations in India. The six ports are in Mundra, Dahej, Hazira and Kandla in Gujarat, Mormugao in Goa and Visakhapatnam.

The location is near to Tuna outside the Kandla stream. The Tuna port is owned by the Kandla Port Trust. The Adani will construct four T-shaped ports near Tuna with 14 metres depth, due to which the giant ships can move directly at Tuna, there is no need to transfer the cargo by small boats to the Kandla port. The sufficient space at Tuna also cuts the distance of the port behind the coast.

Adani Ports plans to handle 200 million tonnes of cargo by 2020.
