The AP government is likely to expedite the process of converting the earlier planned captive port into a commercial port at Kakinada in East Godavari district. With a petrochemical complex promised by the central government in the Vizag-Kakinada region at an estimated investment of around Rs 32,000 crore, the commercial port at Kakinada may also include development of an LNG terminal. The commercial port is expected to be developed at Kona Village of Thondangi Mandal in East Godavari district. The investment for the development of the commercial port is expected to be around Rs 2,000 crore with three berths likely to be developed in the first phase followed by four more berths in the second phase.
