Good strategic move. Navayuga is getting asset light in AP. Ee Jagan CM ga vunnantha varaku, AP lo heavy assets unna local contractors ki ibbandhe, unless they are also politicians and in ruling party either in center or state.

don't think too much. krishnapatnam port is in deep debts due to lack of enough demand . they expanded much ahead of demand.  management was looking for strategic investor. do you think paying 5500 crores for 72% is very less?

100% True. the remaining share is holded by Chinta Sasidhar the present MD of KP Port.

No politics in this .... they have expanded 5 times in Equipment and Port assets which is higher than current demand and over estimating potential of Cargo movement

They also floated their own subsidiary CHA (Custom House Agent) and Freight Forwarding (Container Brokerage) firms which made the existing players upset,

and when ever there is a New customer cargo coming through other agents ... the very next day this sister concern approaches them with a lesser quote.

Port did this to secure the cargo movement 365 days through their port but, in market it dint go well with other players.

So no proper Shipping Industry has moved or expanded their base to KP Port.

In addition to this the Manufacturing slow down led to severe drop in Bulk cargo's (Which is the Major revenue)

And on Top of this Receipts VS payments were in no match and Debts were too high

So its a good deal for them

Politics are not as clear and fair as we see and read 😅

Jagan sir and Chintha Sasidhar (KP Port MD) are thick friends and classmates with whom Akhilesh Yadav (EX UP CM) is too a friend (Navayuga does projects and Navayuga infotech is there in UP and other North eastern states)

So, they did this by will as KP Port is not viable business. B

by location itself is just 120 KM distance to chennai. This they thought is their advantage for diverting all coastal AP cargo to their port instead of going to chennai (Which is heavy congestion at port and Traffic). The actual thing is that in shipping Industry for any exporter or Importer in land transportation is by n large same. They need more no of vessels (Ships) at equal intervals of time and cheaper ocean freight to destination country. This is not in Port control.

My personal experience in Shipping Industry and observation is that this is a Fair business deal.
