The Adani Group’s new port in Vizhinjam, Kerala, which was constructed as a public-private partnership, has garnered praise and celebration from opposition parties. This is unusual given that the Adani Group has faced criticism and controversy in recent years. The port, strategically located between the Suez Canal and the Strait of Malacca, is expected to boost India’s container and cargo traffic and position the country as a major player in global sea trade.
