The company will install and manage modern terminals and cargo handling systems, a move expected to create 10,000 direct jobs. Speaking on the occasion, the Chief Minister stressed that APM Terminals' services should also cater to the domestic cargo market. He urged the company to help create a robust economic ecosystem around the ports. The CM reiterated that the government's objective is to build a 'future economy' centered on ports and logistics. The Chief Minister has directed officials to develop an integrated logistics plan to position Andhra Pradesh as the logistics hub of India. He requested APM Terminals to assist in creating a comprehensive plan for cargo transportation via rail, road, inland waterways, and air. Naidu highlighted that states like Telangana, Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra, Karnataka, and parts of Odisha depend on Andhra Pradesh's ports. He suggested that the logistics plan should aim to ensure cargo from these regions can be transported at the lowest possible cost. The Chief Minister stated that the government's action plan would include developing a port or harbor every 50 kilometers along the state's 1,053-kilometer coastline. The signing ceremony was attended by Minister for Roads & Buildings BC Janardhan Reddy, Maritime Board Chairman Damacharla Satya, Industries Secretary Yuvaraj, other senior officials, and representatives from APM Terminals.
