Adani Ports was earlier supposed to have been developing the East Container Terminal as part of a 2020 trilateral pact between India, Japan and Sri Lanka. However, the Sri Lankan government withdrew from that pact and decided to develop the East Container Terminal through its state firm, under pressure from trade unions and opposition parties.
