The investment values the Vizhinjam port at $2.85 billion, a figure that reflects its current capacity of 1.6 million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs), which is set to increase to 5.7 million TEUs by the end of 2028.

Adani Ports has revealed that its deal with MSC, which is subject to customary approvals, is likely to boost the port's volume visibility and ramp-up, as well as strengthen its presence on East African trade routes. Two other major port partnerships are held by Adani Ports and MSC. Adani Ports & Special Economic Zone (APSEZ) has agreed to sell 49% of one of its Indian ports to the Swiss-based Mediterranean Shipping Company for $1.40 billion, as it seeks to boost cargo volumes through the transshipment hub in Kerala.

MSC is the largest foreign private investment in an Indian port 

On Tuesday, the Indian port operator, which is part of the Adani Group, an energy and infrastructure conglomerate, announced that the deal with MSC is the largest foreign private investment in Indian port infrastructure to date. The investment values the Vizhinjam port at $2.85 billion. The port currently has a capacity of 1.6 million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs)—the standard unit of measurement for cargo capacity—and this will be expanded to 5.7 million TEUs by the end of 2028.

Improve India's access to global markets.

Adani Ports Chief Executive Ashwani Gupta said that the companies' collaboration is set to boost supply chain efficiency and improve India's access to global markets.
