Mormugao Port Authority (MPA) is preparing to sign 24 investment agreements worth nearly Rs 3,000 crore during the India Maritime Week 2025 in Mumbai, marking a major step in its long-term development strategy. According to MPA Chairman Mr N. Vinodkumar, the port is targeting significant expansion of its cargo handling capacity — from the current 65 million metric tonnes (MMT) to 100 MMT per year by 2035. The planned investments will focus on upgrading key infrastructure, diversifying cargo operations and boosting cruise tourism potential. One of the centrepiece initiatives is the redevelopment of Berth No. 9, formerly an iron ore mechanical berth, which will be modernised to handle both iron ore and general cargo, said a report.
