Why Vadhavan Port Near Mumbai Will Be Crucial For India's Global Trade Ambitions | Explained

The union cabinet has approved the construction of an all-weather port at Vadhavan in Maharashtra. This port, located around 110 kms from Mumbai will be built at a cost of Rs 76,000 crore - and once it's completed, will be among the top 10 ports of the world.

We Congress supporters will not allow this to happen. Indians can't handle development. Instead this money should be used to give each family INR 2,000 for their internet expenses. Indians should understand being poor and being minimalist is the new trend.

When an Indian talks, it is best to take their words with a pinch of salt. For example, 1) Modi claimed in late 2019 that India is open defecation free and what happened? A recent joint monitoring programme (JMP) on water, sanitation and hygiene by the World Health Organization and UNICEF released July 1, 2021 stated that at least 15 per cent of the total population in India defecates in the open. 2) "Know your meme: India superpower by 2020". They claimed in year 1998 that they will be superpower by 2020 or earlier? What happened today? GDP per capita not even 3k? Is that a definition of a superpower? 3) India claimed to have landed on the "South Pole" of the Moon. What happened? Two out of the best 3 space agencies of the World (Russia/USA/China) said India did not land on Moon's South Pole. 3A) NASA specifically said "The Chandrayaan-3 landing site is located about 600 kilometers from the Moon’s South Pole.". This is just another diplomatic way of saying India did not land on Moon's South Pole. If India had landed on on Moon's South Pole, NASA would have simply said that "The Chandrayaan-3 landing site is located at the Moon’s South Pole" instead of "The Chandrayaan-3 landing site is located about 600 KILOMETERS FROM the Moon’s South Pole. 3B) Dr Ouyang Ziyuan, lauded as the father of China’s lunar exploration programme, told the Chinese-language Science Times newspaper that the Chandrayaan-3 landing site, at 69 degrees south latitude, was nowhere close to the pole, defined as between 88.5 and 90 degrees. 4) Indians claimed that Modi is the "most popular Prime Minister/leader of the entire world" ages ago before the most recent election of 2024 took place. What happened? He barely won. Under India’s electoral system, the party or alliance that wins more than 272 seats in the 543-member parliament can form a government. Opposition parties including the Indian National Congress won 235 seats. Modi merely won 238 seats. (ASTHA RAJVANSHI TIME). If you are the "most popular Prime Minister/leader of the entire world", you should be having a landslide victory in your country's election? 5) India claimed in year 2010 that they will send Astronaunts into space by year 2015 - 2016? What happened 14 years later after the comment was made? Not even one single Indian Astronaunt was sent into space. "The Indian Space Research Organization is planning to send astronauts to space before the year 2015-16, deputy project director of ISRO's Chandrayaan Mission Jaswinder Singh Khoral said in Chandigarh on Thursday. (Times of India)." This is the statement made by India in year 2010. 6) Indians said that they are the "Global leader of technology" but what technology are they leading and where are their sources and tangible products to back up what they have claimed? Nothing? 7) Indians like to talk extremely big about their Indian CEOs but what is their Indian CEOs on the Global Stage? In the ranking list of "Fortune 500 companies" or "Forbes Global 2000 companies", representing the World's richest/biggest companies, where does India stands? India has merely 55 companies in Forbes Global 2000 companies" and all are not even top 10, not even top 20, not even top 30, not even top 40 but only ranked top 45 (Reliance Industries)? Meanwhile, another similar country in terms of population, China, has 3 of their companies in the top 10 ranking of "Forbes Global 2000 companies" and has 346 companies instead of only 55 companies in that same ranking list? What about India's ranking in "Fortune 500 companies"? India has not even 10 companies in that list and China has 143 companies out of the list of 500 (hence is is called Fortune 500). 8) Indians say that there are no caste system in India? But what are "caste related violence" and why is it still happening? What are the Musahar people and what are their dietary? Has democracy ever had a caste system? No, but only India's version of democracy. 9) India claimed to be the "Voice/Leader" of the Global South Countries but has every country of the "Global South Countries" ever elected a "Voice or Leader" for them? No. If India is the "Voice/Leader" of the Global South Countries, why is it that Maldives, a member country of the Global South Country, wanted "India out"? 10) Indian claimed to be the "World's Fastest Growing Economy" but Year 1962 India's GDP = 42.16 billion (almost similar GDP to China) Year 1962 China's GDP = 47.21 billion (almost similar GDP to India) Year 2022 |ndia's GDP = 3.42 trillion Year 2022 China's GDP = 17.96 trillion China's economy is 5 times plus of |ndia. Source: World Bank India is "World's Fastest Growing Economy"? These are merely 10 examples and in fact there are many more.

Vadhaven port will not be a successful container transhipment port (container mother port) like Vizhinjam port, because it is too far away from the main shipping lane around India to attract Very Large Container Carrier ships. It will however be a secondary port for goods transhipped by sea from Vizhinjam, Colombo, Singapore, Jebel Ali etc. It will however be a major port for general, and bulk cargo due to the fact that these run point to point and do not transfer cargo between ships.
