The fourth container terminal at Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust (JNPT), PSA’s Bharat Mumbai Container Terminals (BMCT) was officially inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He officiated the BMCT opening remotely from the site of the future Navi Mumbai International Airport where he had earlier launched the new airport’s construction. The Prime Minister said globalisation is a reality of our times and to keep pace with globalisation, we need top quality infrastructure. He said that the Sagarmala project is ushering not only development of ports but also port-led development. The Government of India is devoting significant efforts towards the development of waterways.
Tan Chong Meng, Group CEO of PSA International, said, “We are highly honoured by the prominence placed upon Bharat Mumbai Container Terminals by the Government of India and by Prime Minister Modi. They have fittingly regarded BMCT as a major port investment that will give rise to India’s largest container terminal when it completes its Phase 2 expansion to realise a total of 4.8m TEU annual container handling capacity.
