Gujarat strengthens global logistics ambitions with DP World Partnership

GANDHINAGAR : Chief Minister of Gujarat, Shri Bhupendra Patel, held a high-level meeting with Yuvraj Narayan, Group CEO of DP World, to explore avenues for further enhancing Gujarat’s position as a leading global logistics and trade hub.

During the meeting, the Chief Minister emphasized the long-standing partnership between Gujarat and DP World, highlighting the company’s significant role in the state’s infrastructure and economic growth. Several Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) signed during the Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit have laid the foundation for transformative projects across ports, logistics parks, rail freight, and economic zones.

These initiatives are expected to substantially boost connectivity, improve trade efficiency, and generate large-scale employment opportunities across the state.

The collaboration is also strengthening Gujarat’s maritime ecosystem through the development of world-class port infrastructure. Key projects include DP World’s operations at Mundra Port and the upcoming greenfield terminal at Tuna Tekra near Kandla Port. These developments are poised to drive exports, reduce logistics costs, and reinforce Gujarat’s strategic importance in global supply chains.

Reaffirming the state’s growth trajectory, the Chief Minister noted that under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Gujarat continues to attract global investments and play a pivotal role in advancing India’s economic development.

The meeting underscores Gujarat’s commitment to building a robust, future-ready logistics and maritime ecosystem through strong global partnerships.
