AP CM Jagan makes first move to build a non-major port at Ramayapatnam

Andhra Pradesh government has initiated the first step to build a Rs 10,000 crore greenfield port at Ramayapatnam as a non-major port.
Ramayapatnam in the state’s Prakasam district was seen as a location that the Central government is also “examining” to develop as a major port.
The state government has filed an application with the expert appraisal committee (EAC) attached to ministry of environment forest and climate change for the environment and coastal regulation zone clearances for the project.
"It is proposed to be developed as a non-major state port at Ramayapatnam along Andhra coast,” according to the application filed with the EAC.
The state government has signalled its intentions to build the new port as a private port through the public-private partnership (PPP) mode.
