Dugarajapatnam Port

Dugarajapatnam Port is a proposed seaport in Tirupati district of Andhra Pradesh, India.

It will be controlled by the Union government, alongside Visakhapatnam Port in the state of Andhra Pradesh, and would cost nearly ₹8,000 crore (US$920 million).

[1] The port is set up under India's Companies Act 1956 with equity participation of the government of Andhra Pradesh.

[2] The construction encountered certain objections as the sensitive ecosystem of Pulicat Lake and the satellite launching station ISRO of Sriharikota are very near to Duggarajapatnam.

[3] The district administration is taking steps to acquire approximately 5,028 acres (2,035 ha) of land at the new location.
