Development of Phase-1 of the Ramayapatnam Port project, at an estimated cost of Rs.3,736 crores, has been significantly delayed. The breakwater works on the south and north sides were scheduled to be completed in September 2023, but the works have nearly stalled.
With the completion of Phase-1, the port will feature four berths with an annual cargo handling capacity of 34 million tonnes. The complete port project will include 19 berths with a total capacity of around 140 million tonnes, with specialized berths for containers, coal, and multipurpose uses.
