Of the 3,100-metre breakwater, the 538-metre core had been completed. Of the 53 hectares that had to be reclaimed from the sea, 15 hectares had been reclaimed so far. The 92.62 hectares of land needed for the project had already been acquired and steps are on to complete the remaining 12 hectares.
A 160-metre bund had been constructed using granite as part of the berths. Adani Vizhinjam Port Private Ltd (AVLP) of APSEZ is selected to build the superstructure and operate the seaport.[/vc_column_text][/vc_row]
