The government of Kerala and the Gujarat-based Adani group were involved in a legal dispute due to a delay in completing a project. Adani, the private partner, has repeatedly invoked the force majeure clause to explain the delay. As a result, the parties had agreed to enter into an arbitration to resolve the dispute.
The port is a multi-purpose, all-weather, green port located 16 kilometers (9.9 mi) away from the Trivandrum International Airport at Vizhinjam, Thiruvananthapuram, the capital city of Kerala. It is also the first automated port in India and the sole port in the country to be located adjacent to an international shipping route. Being a greenfield seaport, it provides flexibility in design and future expansion. The seaport will be connected by India's third-longest railway tunnel, presently under the planning phase.
