DP World will time new projects in India around cargo growth and how heavily its facilities are used, India country manager Hemant Kumar Ruia told Mint, leaving the remaining commitment unresolved.
The company says its India investments are intended to link seaports with inland freight, warehouses and other logistics services. That strategy spans port terminals and land-based facilities.
In its Oct. 19 report, Mint said $2 billion remained from a $5 billion commitment after $3 billion had been invested. DP World’s Oct. 30, 2025, announcement described a different structure: an additional $5 billion, on top of $3 billion the company said it had invested over the preceding three decades. The two accounts do not reconcile how much remains to be spent.
Mint also reported plans for about $200 million in work to expand the Dadri inland container depot in Uttar Pradesh and to double capacity at DP World’s free trade zones. The outlet said renewal terms for existing terminal concessions would affect longer-term investment decisions.
DP World said Oct. 7 that it had inaugurated the second phase of its Nhava Sheva Business Park. The approximately ₹500 crore ($52 million) project adds 1 million square feet of warehousing capacity. The company also said it had discussed Vadhavan Port development with the Jawaharlal Nehru Port Authority.
In Gujarat, DP World estimated the cost of its planned Tuna-Tekra container terminal at about $510 million in a 2023 announcement. The facility is designed to handle 2.19 million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) a year and connect with inland road and rail networks. DP World said it expects the terminal to serve trade from northern, western and central India, and set 2027 as its planned completion year.
