Andhra Pradesh government accelerates major port development, approving land acquisition for Mulapeta, Machilipatnam, and Ramayapatnam ports. With Rs 1,638.52 crore allocated for 6,248.54 acres, the project aims to boost maritime trade, industrial growth, and employment opportunities.
Andhra Pradesh braces for heavy rain and gusty winds as a low-pressure area over the Bay of Bengal intensifies. Officials issue a danger warning for ports, urging fishermen to avoid sea travel and cautioning coastal residents to remain vigilant for the next week.
Andhra Pradesh is transforming into India’s next logistics hub with four mega ports—Ramayapatnam, Mulapeta, Machilipatnam, and Kakinada Gateway—under construction. These ports will add 109 million tonnes of annual cargo capacity. Ramayapatnam and Mulapeta aim for operations by year-end, boosting trade and jobs.
