Afcons Infrastructure Ltd has been awarded a contract valued at ₹5,301 crore [2] to construct a breakwater at Vadhvan Port in Gujarat.
The project represents a significant expansion of India's coastal infrastructure. By securing this contract, Afcons Infra strengthens its position in large-scale maritime engineering while supporting the development of the Vadhvan Port and Airport complex.
The construction involves building a breakwater spanning 10.14 km [1]. This structure is designed to provide a protective barrier for vessels, ensuring safer navigation and docking operations within the port area. The project is part of a broader strategy to enhance the region's logistics capabilities and trade efficiency.
This win contributes to a growing portfolio for the company. As of the end of the 2026 fiscal year, the Afcons order book stood at ₹32,496 crore [1]. The addition of the Vadhvan project aligns with the firm's objective to grow its order book through high-value infrastructure contracts.
The Vadhvan development is intended to handle larger vessels and increase the overall cargo capacity of the Gujarat coastline. The breakwater is a critical component of this infrastructure, as it mitigates the impact of waves and currents on ships entering the harbor.
Afcons Infrastructure continues to target strategic projects that require specialized engineering capabilities. The company said the project will support its long-term growth strategy in the infrastructure sector.
