A company press release published by Marine Insight says Essar Ports has received a letter of award from Deendayal Port Authority for a multipurpose cargo terminal at Tuna Tekra in Gujarat. The proposed terminal would use a public-private build-operate-transfer structure.

The release gives an estimated total project cost of ₹2,276.06 crore: ₹1,552.57 crore from Essar Ports and ₹723.49 crore from the port authority. It describes planned annual handling capacity of 18.33 million tonnes across four 300-metre berths; these figures are project plans, not current terminal throughput.
