Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurates the Vizhinjam International Deepwater Multipurpose Seaport in Kerala, a landmark in Indian maritime infrastructure development. The port, developed on a public-private partnership model, will significantly boost trade, commerce, and economic activity, primarily for Kerala.
The Vizhinjam Port has been planned for decades, characterized by a delay on legal and logistical fronts. Its inauguration to flow, though, makes India one of the frontrunners in international sea trade. The fact that the port location is close to international sea lines positions it in the most appropriate terminal to transship commodities, less dependent on foreign terminals.
Commissioning of Vizhinjam Port is a blue economy pioneer towards India. Strategically located, state-of-the-art technology, and economic dividends, the port is all set to relocate India in global trade as well as be a turning point for the development of Kerala. With functions starting, the country is waiting with bated breath for the returns of this landmark project.
PM Modi reiterated once again that the port will add to India’s trade potential, allowing direct handling of cargo rather than shipping or receiving goods to or from overseas ports. It will be affordable, efficient, and place India on the international trade map. Kerala especially will gain a great deal, with improved employment prospects as well as infrastructure establishment.
Advanced Technology and Features
Vizhinjam Port is equipped with semi-automated operations, AI-driven vessel traffic management, and remotely operated cranes. These features ensure quick turnaround times for ships, making it one of the most advanced ports in India. The port’s deep-water capacity allows it to accommodate large container vessels, further boosting trade efficiency.
PM Modi’s Vision for Maritime Growth
On the very first day, PM Modi talked about India’s development speeding up in port infrastructure and stated that Indian port capacity doubled over the last decade. Again, he said another fact that India stands among the world’s first three countries in seafarers, again signifying the country’s sea power.
