The ceremony was also attended by other senior members of the Jawaharlal Nehru Port Authority and DP World.
Once constructed, the new terminal will add 800,000 TEUs (twenty foot equivalent container units) of container capacity to the port and help ease congestion, as the port is currently operating beyond capacity. The terminal is expected to commence operations in 2015.
