Three container berths, eight ship-to-shore cranes and 18 RTGs give Kattupalli the muscle to move 1.2 to 1.4 million TEU a year, some 40 km north of Chennai. Acquired by Adani Ports from Larsen & Toubro in 2018, this EXIM gateway works the Bay of Bengal coast with channel depths near 14 metres, enough for large container vessels. Total throughput sits at roughly 25 million tonnes a year, spanning containers, RoRo vehicle traffic, breakbulk and project cargo. As a fully customs-cleared EXIM facility, Kattupalli handles international import and export shipments in its own right and relieves neighbouring Chennai Port. Road and rail links reach into the Tamil Nadu industrial belt, serving automotive and engineering plants across the hinterland. Adani Ports is pursuing an approved master-plan expansion to broaden the port into a multi-commodity facility. For forwarders moving boxes into the region, Chennai Port and Kamarajar (Ennore) are the practical alternatives.
