DP World has reaffirmed its long-term commitment to India with the inauguration of Phase 2 of the Nhava Sheva Business Park (NSBP), adding one million square feet of warehousing capacity through an investment of approximately ₹500 crore ($52 million).
H.E. Essa Kazim, Executive Chairman, DP World, visited India for the first time in his new role, accompanied by Group CEO Yuvraj Narayan and members of the company’s Global Board. The delegation also met JNPA leadership to discuss future collaboration, including opportunities around Vadhavan Port and further investment in the JNPA Special Economic Zone.
The relationship between DP World and JNPA spans nearly three decades, beginning with the concession agreement for Nhava Sheva International Container Terminal.
Commenting on the visit, H.E. Essa Kazim, Executive Chairman, DP World, said: “India is a strategic partner in DP World’s global growth journey, and we see significant opportunities to contribute to the country’s ambitions as a leading global trading nation. Our commitment goes beyond investing in infrastructure; it is about building enduring partnerships, strengthening connectivity and creating integrated supply chain solutions that enable Indian businesses to compete more effectively in global markets. The expansion of Nhava Sheva Business Park reflects our confidence in India’s long-term potential and our continued focus on meeting the evolving needs of our customers. We look forward to deepening our collaboration with government and industry partners to support India’s growth and unlock new opportunities for trade.”
The expansion strengthens DP World’s integrated logistics ecosystem at Nhava Sheva, connecting port operations with rail, warehousing, container freight stations and Free Trade Warehousing Zone capabilities.
