Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone (APSEZ) has announced the sale of a 49% stake in the Vizhinjam port, located in Kerala, India, to Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC). The transaction is valued at approximately $1.4 billion (₹13,220 crore). The partnership aims to enhance the ports operational capabilities and foster growth in maritime logistics.

The agreement highlights MSC’s commitment to expanding its presence in India and capitalizing on the strategic location of Vizhinjam port, which is positioned to serve as a key transshipment hub for container goods in the region. Under the deal, MSC’s terminal investment arm, Terminal Investment Limited (TiL), will manage and develop the port facilities.

This partnership is set against the backdrop of APSEZs efforts to strengthen its logistics operations and MSCs goal of enhancing global shipping services. The Vizhinjam port is expected to play a vital role in increasing overall shipping capacity and facilitating trade in South Asia.

The transaction will not only provide capital for further development of the port but is also expected to create numerous jobs and support economic growth in the surrounding areas. Completion of this deal is subject to regulatory approvals, and both parties anticipate that the partnership will yield significant long-term benefits.
