The Mumbai Port Authority (MbPA) has unveiled a massive capital expenditure pipeline worth ₹3,541.29 crore to modernize its berth infrastructure, enhance inland connectivity, and significantly scale up its overall cargo-handling capacity. Announced during the port’s 154th Foundation Day celebrations by Union Minister Sarbananda Sonowal, this major overhaul includes the modernization of several berths at the Indira Dock, a ₹940-crore offshore infrastructure development project, and a brand-new ₹800-crore crude oil berth located at Jawahar Dweep. These upgrades directly support the port’s thriving maritime ecosystem, which celebrated a historic milestone in FY26 by handling its highest-ever cargo volume of 75.15 million tonnes, marking a robust 9.5 percent year-on-year growth. Looking forward, the port authority aims to push this benchmark further to 80 million tonnes in the near future by expanding its storage infrastructure, setting up solar rooftop installations, and implementing heavy digitalization and advanced surveillance systems across its operations.
