109

In a major move that solidifies its position as a leading player in the global logistics industry, an Adani-led consortium has completed the purchase of Israel’s Haifa port. The acquisition, which was first announced in late 2020, will give the group control over one of the Mediterranean’s most strategically important ports and a major gateway for trade between Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. This acquisition will be a boost for India and will help in connecting India to the major port city of Haifa, which will help to improve the trade between the two countries and also improve the overall economy.

The Haifa port, which is located on the northeastern coast of Israel and is one of the country’s two main ports, handles a wide variety of cargo, including containers, dry and liquid bulk, and roll-on/roll-off vehicles. With the acquisition, the Adani-led consortium plans to expand the port’s capacity and upgrade its infrastructure to meet the growing demand for transportation and logistics services. The purchase is also expected to generate significant economic benefits for the region, including the creation of new jobs and increased investment.
