The Kattupalli port will be commissioned by January, which will be three months ahead of schedule, according to Mr G. Gandhirajan, Chief Operating Officer of the port, which is being developed by L&T Ports.

The port is coming up adjacent to the Ennore port with an initial investment of over Rs 2,000 crore, he said at a seminar on Development of Ports in Tamil Nadu organised by the Madras Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

While the commitment to the public and investors was to commission the first phase, which would be container operations, in April, the internal target is to start by January, he said.
