PM Modi Unveils Vizhinjam Seaport To Boost Kerala's Maritime Economy
The Vizhinjam Deep Water Seaport in Kerala, built at a cost of ₹8,800 crore, is hailed as a symbol of new age development. The port's capacity as a transshipment hub is expected to triple in the coming years, allowing large cargo ships to dock easily. This development aims to reduce India's dependence on foreign ports for 75% of its transshipment, potentially saving significant revenue and creating new economic opportunities for Kerala and India.
