Dighi Port, part of Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Limited (APSEZ), is set to handle 200,000 cars annually following a strategic partnership with Motherson. The collaboration, through Motherson’s joint venture Samvardhana Motherson Hamakyorex Engineered Logistics Limited (SAMRX), will establish a dedicated RoRo (Roll-on/Roll-off) terminal at the port in Maharashtra.
The new facility will serve as a key automobile exports hub for the Mumbai-Pune auto belt, supporting India’s “Make in India” initiative by enabling smooth import and export of vehicles to global markets.
Mr. Ashwani Gupta, CEO of APSEZ, said the partnership aims to redefine automotive logistics in India. “Combining APSEZ’s infrastructure with Motherson’s expertise creates a seamless and resilient network for vehicle movement, accelerating trade and enhancing supply chain efficiency,” he added.
Mr. Laksh Vaaman Sehgal, Vice Chairman of Motherson Group, emphasized that the terminal will reduce logistics costs for OEMs while strengthening India’s automotive supply chain.
The RoRo terminal will feature end-to-end vehicle logistics, including single-window operations, AI-driven yard optimization for real-time vehicle tracking, and fast OEM evacuation via NH-66. The port will also support electric vehicle exports with EV-ready infrastructure and provide integrated dashboards for live tracking of cargo volumes.
Dighi Port, strategically located on India’s west coast, is already equipped to handle various cargo types with excellent road connectivity and direct berthing facilities. Its expansion into RoRo operations aligns with APSEZ’s vision of building future-ready logistics hubs.
