Adani Ports Powers Dighi to 200K Cars/Year Milestone with Motherson Pact

Partnership Details

APSEZ, India's largest private port operator, announced a key collaboration with Motherson Group—global auto components leader—for Dighi Port in Maharashtra's Konkan region. Acquired in 2021 for ₹705 Cr, Dighi now targets 200,000 vehicles annually via enhanced RoRo (roll-on/roll-off) facilities. The media release highlights optimized infrastructure for cars, supporting OEMs like Maruti and Tata amid India's booming auto exports.​

Strategic Boost

This builds on APSEZ's ₹42,500 Cr MoU with Maharashtra (Oct 2025) for port expansion, rail-road links, and industrial zones serving Mumbai-Pune. Dighi evolves from multi-cargo to auto-centric gateway, easing JNPT congestion. Motherson's involvement taps synergies in supply chains, aligning with EV transition and Sagarmala initiatives.​
