Naidu Thanks Gadkari For Over Rs 570 Crore Machilipatnam Port Road

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu on Friday thanked Union Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari for approving over Rs 570 crore for a six-lane external road to connect Machilipatnam port with the national highway network. 

Naidu said the project reflects the Centre's strong focus on improving connectivity to existing and greenfield ports, noting that the new corridor will play a



crucial role in linking the hinterland with the port and reducing logistics costs for industries and exporters.

"Thank you, Gadkari, for your continuous support in improving the National Highway network in Andhra Pradesh. 

We are happy to see the focus on connectivity of existing and greenfield ports under development," Naidu said in a post on 'X' replying to the union minister.
