Speaking at the launch of the event logo on Monday, NMPA Chairman A.V. Ramana said the New Mangalore Port has grown from handling a modest cargo of 1 lakh tonnes in 1974 to handle over 46 million tonnes today. The port was set to handle 50 million tonnes of cargo by 2025-26 and achieve projected profit, after tax, of ₹550 crore. The NMPA was committed to inclusive growth and the growth of the port was interlinked with development of the local units, including MRPL and MCF, he said.
