The Kerala government approved a supplementary agreement with Adani Ports to accelerate the Vizhinjam Port project, advancing its final phase completion to 2028 from the earlier target of 2045. With a pledged investment of ₹10,000 crore, the project aims to achieve a capacity of 3 million TEUs. A penalty of ₹219 crore was imposed for delays, and any extension beyond 2028 is conditional on meeting the revised deadline. This agreement underscores Kerala's commitment to infrastructure growth and efficient project management.
