Background
In September 2015 Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Ltd (APSEZ) of Adani Group agreed to take over operation and management (O&M) of the Kattupalli port from Larsen and Toubro Ltd (L&T). L&T will continue to run the shipyard, while APSEZ would take over the cranes and other cargo-handling equipment. APSEZ also said it plans to add a 20 million tonne (mt) capacity coal terminal at the port. Live Mint said the deal suggests APSEZ has lost interest in talks for buying the Gangavaram Port in Andhra Pradesh.[1]
