Maritime PPP investment opportunity

Mumbai’s Victoria Dock marina: a 45-year waterfront concession with a defined marine–landside split

Mumbai Port Authority’s ₹922.67-crore project combines a protected marina with hospitality, yacht services and waterfront activity. The concessionaire’s investment case must distinguish the marine works already commenced by the Port from landside development, later berth expansion and long-term operations.
