Gangavaram Port is on the cusp of a massive upgrade, thanks to a strategic MoU between Adani Ports SEZ, NMDC, and Vale S.A. from Brazil. Focused on an SEZ-driven iron ore hub, the deal via Adani Gangavaram Port Limited will blend, process, and export high-grade ore with unmatched efficiency.
Signed during the India-Brazil Summit on President Lula’s visit, with Piyush Goyal witnessing, it signals stronger trade bridges between the nations.
APSEZ CEO Ashwini Gupta noted, ‘This partnership embodies our joint resolve for innovative infrastructure strengthening India’s global logistics footprint. Superior minerals paired with elite port infrastructure will meet demands and spur growth.’
Key elements include developing, running, and optimizing an SEZ ecosystem for iron ore blending, value addition, and sales. It fortifies the east coast value chain, enhancing mineral processing scale, speed, and worldwide rivalry.
Capacity balloons to 75 MMT, making Gangavaram the iron ore export epicenter. The NMDC-Vale alliance crafts a modern, sustainable hub for east coast ore activities.
As India’s Valemax-ready pioneer—handling 400,000 DWT mega-carriers—the port rolls out automated berthing, cargo systems, yard mastery, blending tech, and fast load/discharge. Supply chains will never be the same, with efficiency soaring to new heights.
