A Rs 7,056 crore outer harbour project by VO Chidambaranar (VOC) Port in Tuticorin is garnering interest from domestic and global majors in the sector, such as Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone, Singapore’s PSA International, Dutch major Van Oord, JM Baxi, and JSW, among others, according to sources close to the development.

       The project aims to capitalise on the newfound investor interest in the region, spurred by mega investments such as the Rs 16,000 crore electric vehicle manufacturing unit by Vietnamese major VinFast, the Indian Space Research Organisation’s second spaceport in Tamil Nadu’s Kulasekarapattinam, and Singapore’s Sembcorp’s Rs 36,238
