Singaporean port operator PSA International has inaugurated the second phase of the expansion of PSA Mumbai – India’s largest container terminal.

With the inauguration held on September 4, 2025, PSA Mumbai is doubling its annual handling capacity to 4.8 million TEUs.

Designed to accommodate multiple mega container vessels alongside with 2,000 meters of continuous quay length, PSA Mumbai is said to be built to support India’s growing trade volumes for domestic and global markets. This development is the result of SGD 1.7 billion ($1.3 billion) committed by PSA under a public-private partnership model, the largest foreign direct investment from Singapore in India to date.

Since its first investment in India in 1998, PSA has steadily expanded its presence across the country. Today, PSA India operates container terminals in Navi Mumbai and Chennai, container freight stations in Mumbai and Mundra through its subsidiary PSA Ameya, and collaborates with its affiliate supply chain business PSA BDP to serve a wide range of multinational customers across diverse industry verticals.

“PSA Mumbai’s Phase 2 expansion brings together capacity, connectivity and sustainability in a terminal for India — a catalyst for advancing India’s trade ambitions. PSA Mumbai’s enhanced capacity of 4.8 million TEUs will reinforce the resilience of supply chains within and beyond India, and bolster PSA’s global network of port ecosystems,” Ong Kim Pong, Group CEO, PSA International, said.

“This milestone underscores the transformative power of purposeful collaboration between the public and private sectors to enhance global trade flows and uplift communities. Our partnership with the Jawaharlal Nehru Port Authority (JNPA) for PSA Mumbai exemplifies this commitment. Driven by this shared purpose, PSA is proud to partner India on its journey of transformational growth and progress.”

Constructed on 200 hectares of land, the terminal brings together enhanced yard capacity and multimodal infrastructure to efficiently support India’s maritime connectivity. With electrical equipment already powered by renewable energy and progressive electrification of diesel assets, PSA Mumbai is designed to uplift trade sustainably, as per the port operator.

In January last year, PSA Mumbai achieved a major milestone in its emissions reduction journey by becoming India’s first 100% renewable powered container terminal on the commissioning of its 7.8MW solar farm with O2 Power.

The terminal’s CO2 equivalent emissions will be reduced by a projected 16,000 tonnes annually and more than 350,000 tonnes over its life.
