Chennai Port Revives ₹8,000 Cr Outer Harbour Project to Boost Container Capacity

In a major push to expand maritime infrastructure, the Chennai Port Authority (ChPA) is reviving its long-pending outer harbour project, pegged at an estimated cost of ₹8,000 crore (₹80 billion). The development aims to significantly enhance container handling capacity and support India’s growing trade volumes.
According to ChPA Chairperson Sunil Paliwal, a techno-feasibility study will soon be initiated. The project includes a 2-kilometre-long container berth and reclamation of nearly 200 acres for supporting infrastructure. “We are constantly working to upgrade our services,” he stated on Thursday.
The outer harbour project has had a long journey — this marks its third revival attempt since the initial proposal in 2007.

Project Highlights

Strategic Significance

This project is poised to transform Chennai Port into a next-generation logistics and container hub, aligning with India’s broader push to modernize port infrastructure under the Sagarmala initiative. It could also decongest existing terminals and enable direct berthing of large vessels, reducing transshipment dependency on foreign ports.
