Ahmedabad, Feb 16 : Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Ltd on Tuesday informed that it has completed the acquisition of 100 per cent in Dighi Port Limited (DPL) for Rs 705 crore on February 15.
The company had intimated the commencement of this development to stock exchanges on March 6, 2020.
With the acquisition, DPL has become the 12th port to join APSEZ s string of economic gateways across the eastern and western coast of India and would establish the company s footprint in Maharashtra. This would enable APSEZ to service customers in the state, including the highly industrialised areas in the Mumbai and Pune regions, the company said in a statement.

MUMBAI: A mother-daughter duo was arrested from their Kalyan (West) residence in Thane district of Maharashtra on Friday in a cheating case.
They allegedly duped an Andheri businessman of Rs 1.25 crore by promising to build a tug boat and a barge vessel during the lockdown. They assured them of Rs 15 lakh every month after helping him with customers for renting out the vessels.
The case was registered in October 2020 with the Andheri police station after the businessman Sushant Shelatkar (39), who is into shipping logistics business, learnt that the accused Raghini Khandelwal, 52 (mother) and daughter Mansi (22) has duped several high profile people, including a politician, from Mumbai and Thane after showing the same hull.

Mumbai: The Shiv Sena sent out a strong message to the Modi-led government on Friday, not to take the ruling Maha Vikas Aghadi government in Maharashtra for granted in the implementation of the Rs 65,545-crore Vadhavan port project in Palghar district. This has all the portents of a tit for tat, coming as it does in the backdrop of the controversy over the Metro 3 carshed and the BJP stepping up its attack against the MVA government.
At his maiden meeting with the villagers, who are strongly opposing the project on the plea that it would adversely impact fishing, Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray said the government valued their views and would side with them. ââThe project development wonât happen without your consent and without taking you on board,ââ the CM told the villagers.
Secretary of the National Fish Workers’ Forum Jyoti Meher said, “There will be equal participation of women in this bandh. If fish markets remain closed, naturally fisherwomen will not be carrying out their business. All coastal villages, from Cuffe Parade to Zai in Palghar, will observe the bandh, fish markets and shops will be closed. There may not be any demonstrations but we may form a human chain or bear black flags in protest.”
However, the Vangaon police station on Monday issued a notice to VBVSS to refrain from gathering a crowd and violating the safety protocols in place for the Covid-19pandemic. The notice stated that action will be taken against the VBVSS if a situation disturbing the law and order is created on Tuesday or a large crowd is gathered without paying heed to precautions of maintaining safe distance between people. Vadhavan falls in the jurisdiction of the Vangaon police station.

Fish markets and fishing activities in many fishing villages in the city remained closed on Tuesday as the bandh called by the Vadhavan Bandar Virodhi Sangharsh Samiti (VBVSS) saw participation from fisherfolk in Mumbai, Thane and Palghar. Many staged demonstrations bearing placards with the slogan “Ekach Jidduh, Vadhavan Bandar rudduh (Just one demand, cancel Vadhavan port)”.
