DP World Mundra has achieved a remarkable milestone by handling its highest ever monthly throughput of 1,29,368 TEUs in July 2024, underlining its pivotal role in facilitating trade between Gujarat and the global market. This achievement showcases the terminal’s exceptional operational efficiency and its capacity to manage increasing trade volumes, further solidifying its position as a key player in India’s trade network.
Since its inception in 2003, DP World Mundra has handled a total throughput of 1,74,95,602 TEUs. The terminal’s ongoing commitment to sustainable operations is evident in its recent introduction of electric rubber tyred gantry cranes (e-RTGCs) and the electrification of existing ones. Additionally, DP World Mundra has replaced its light motor vehicles (LMVs) with electric versions (e-LMVs) and converted diesel forklift trucks (FLTs) to electric (e-FLTs), reinforcing its dedication to green initiatives.
Ravinder Johal, Chief Operating Officer of Ports & Terminals, Operations & Commercial, Middle East, North Africa & Subcontinent, DP World, stated, “The record throughput at DP World Mundra is a testament to our unwavering commitment to operational excellence and sustainable port operations. By optimising our supply chain processes and enhancing connectivity, we are not only boosting trade efficiency but also supporting the growth of industries in Gujarat and beyond. Our ongoing efforts in equipment electrification will further minimise carbon footprint and promote sustainable practices in port operations.”
DP World Mundra features a 632-meter quay and a deep draft, allowing it to accommodate large vessels. With a capacity of 1.4 million TEUs spread across 37 hectares, the terminal is crucial in boosting India’s trade efficiency. The terminal is further supported by an 18,000 sqft container freight station (CFS) located just 4 kilometres away, offering a strategic advantage for handling less-than-container load (LCL) and full container load (FCL) import and export cargo. Leveraging advanced technology and excellent road and rail connectivity to northern and central India, DP World Mundra continues to drive economic growth in the region.
