Tamil Nadu plans to go ahead with a plan to develop a greenfield port at Nagapattinam, adjacent to the existing minor port there, in a private-public-partnership mode.

The project will help development in the hinterland in the districts of Nagapattinam, Perambalur, Villupuram, Salem, Namakkal, Karur, Thanjavur, Thiruvarur and Erode.

The existing Nagapattinam minor port, located at the mouth of the Kaduvaiyaru River, is a lighterage port handling general cargo, wheat and fertilisers.
