Advantage Karaikal

Karaikal town is witnessing a significant change in terms of infrastructure development. These developmental efforts aim to catapult Karaikal as a major coastal town along the east coast of India. The extent of these efforts may be gauged by the fact that Master Plan for Karaikal, among other infrastructure development, includes port development, improving the rail connectivity and development of airport at Karaikal.

Apart from the development of physical infrastructure Karaikal enjoys advantage of supply of educated and skilled manpower due it its proximity with Central Tamil Nadu and notably Trichy. Moreover, political, bureaucratic, cultural and social environment in Karaikal is conducive for businesses.

Due to the presence of excellent physical and social infrastructure coupled with the fact that Karaikal is a port location, the town is likely to develop as big industrial centre and a maritime city. Many of the envisaged developments are already underway and development of the port is one of the most significant initiatives.

Karaikal Port was conceived keeping in mind the significant economic and logistical advantage it will offer to its target Customers. The hinterland of Central Tamil Nadu is home to numerous industries with the cement industry being the most significant. Karaikal poses a direct distance advantage for industries in the hinterland when compared with competition. The shorter distances coupled with a good network of highways translates to significant cost and time savings for our customers. The proposed rail connectivity from Nagore, on completion, will only enhance this strategic advantage.

Karaikal Port also offers the professional advantages of a private managed facility. A single window for all cargo and vessel related formalities ensure fast, smooth and transparent clearances of both vessels and cargo. Latest material handling equipment will give the Port a technological edge that will translate to faster turnaround times and better handling of cargo and vessels. A host of existing proposed support services such as storage facilities, transport services etc. will enhance the Port’s portfolio as a comprehensive cargo handling destination.
