Maritime India Vision 2030 envisions Chennai-Kamarajar-Cuddalore cluster to become a Mega Port on the eastern coast by 2047. This cluster is targeted to achieve a cargo handling capacity of over 300 million tonnes per annum by 2047.
A key initiative of the government also includes modernisation of Chennai, Ennore (Kamarajar) and Tuticorin (VO Chidambaranar) ports, and investment in infrastructure connectivity such as rail and road linkages. Further, strategic location, deep-draft ports, and policy support aim to position Tamil Nadu as a key maritime hub in Asia, Parliament was told last week.
