Vadhvan Port Project Ltd, a joint venture between state-owned Jawaharlal Nehru Port Authority (74% stake) and Maharashtra Maritime Board (26% equity), is implementing a mega greenfield port at Vadhvan in Maharashtra. The project is billed as India's biggest public port with a capacity to handle 298 million tonnes of cargo a year, including 23.2 million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs). The project includes construction of a 10.14 km-long breakwater, the longest for an Indian port project, estimated to cost about ₹5,300 crore. The port will have nine container terminals with a total quay length of 9,000 metres, equipped with over 100 quay-side gantry cranes, liquid cargo berths, Ro-Ro facility, general/coastal/breakbulk cargo berths, common railyard, tank farms, and storage areas.
