To add more capacity to its upcoming green field port in Raigad district of Maharashtra, Dighi Port is to add an additional investment of Rs 1,000 crore. Dighi Port, with already commissioned two or the five berths, will go ahead with the three remaining berths as part of its phase one project. The total investment for the phase one of the port is Rs 2,500 crore. The remaining berths will be added by December 2014. The company has already invested Rs 1,500 crore for the project.
Media reports say that Maharashtra government, which technically owns the port, has decided to “scale down” the port project located in Raigad district.
Under a 50 year Build, Own, Operate, Share & Transfer (BOOST) agreement, Dighi Port is being developed.
