Reliance Group proposes to build India's largest port 'Rewas' as part of its Navi Mumbai SEZ.
Group plans to invest more than Rs3,000 crores in developing the Port, which is located about 10 nautical miles or 16 km south east of Mumbai harbor and awaits environmental clearances to launch construction.
It would have same draft as of Suez Canal and virtually double that of the deepest JNPT Port in the country.
Having a sea depth of 20 metres, the Rewas Port has proved to be a clincher for Reliance Group, which is developing two mega special economic zones (SEZs) across 35,000 acres in Navi Mumbai and expect a steady flow of cargo.
The draft will ensure that large ships possibly even supertankers get their berth, as the Port will have 18 berths at the end of Phase II.
Rewas Port, a nodal point for exports from the SEZs, will be connected with both rail and corridors, including a separate rail freight line between the SEZ and its Haryana SEZ.
Port originally belonged to entrepreneur Meka Vijay Papa Rao and the Reliance Group company Reliance Logistics Investment along with Jai Corp, a company belonging to Anand Jain had in mid-September inked a deal to buy a majority stake of 51 percent in Rewas Port.
