The landmark achievement,
accomplished through a seamless Roll-on/Roll-off (Ro-Ro) gateway, highlights
the efficiency, reliability and operational capabilities of Chennai Port in
supporting high-volume automotive exports.
The milestone is also a testament to the strength of the ecosystem
comprising manufacturers, logistics partners, shipping lines, terminal
operators and port authorities, working together to facilitate the smooth
movement of vehicles from Indian manufacturing facilities to international
destinations. Chennai Port Authority
expressed its pride in partnering with Hyundai
Motor India Limited (HMIL) in this journey. The achievement reflects the
growing synergy between India’s automotive manufacturing capabilities and
future-ready maritime infrastructure, enabling Indian-made vehicles to reach
markets across the world efficiently and reliably.
Handling 19,300 vehicles in a month represents not only a strong
operational performance but also the growing importance of Chennai Port in
supporting India’s automotive export ambitions. The Port’s Ro-Ro capabilities provide an efficient gateway for finished
vehicles, helping streamline cargo movement and strengthen supply-chain
connectivity. The milestone further
reinforces Chennai’s position as an important automotive and logistics hub,
supporting the Government of India’s vision of strengthening manufacturing,
exports and multimodal logistics infrastructure. Chennai Port Authority congratulates
Hyundai Motor India Limited on this landmark achievement and looks forward to
further strengthening the partnership to advance India’s automotive ambitions —
further, faster and farther.
