Adani Ports Begins Colombo Ops

Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Ltd (APSEZ) has officially commenced operations at the Colombo West International Terminal (CWIT) in Sri Lanka, marking a major milestone in its global expansion strategy. The terminal, a joint venture between Adani Ports, Sri Lanka鈥檚 John Keells Holdings, and the Sri Lanka Ports Authority, represents one of the most significant foreign investments in the island nation鈥檚 infrastructure sector.

The CWIT project is designed to be a state-of-the-art container terminal, developed at a cost of around $700 million. It is expected to significantly boost Colombo鈥檚 status as a key transshipment hub in the Indian Ocean. Once fully operational, the terminal will handle ultra-large container vessels, thereby enhancing maritime trade and connectivity in the region. Adani Ports鈥� entry into Sri Lanka aligns with its broader vision to create a strong network of ports in strategically located maritime corridors. This move also strengthens India-Sri Lanka bilateral economic ties and underlines India's increasing role in regional logistics and trade infrastructure.

The terminal's launch is anticipated to attract more shipping lines, increase trade volumes, and generate local employment, reinforcing Colombo鈥檚 importance in global maritime commerce.
