4 billion, a transaction described by Adani as the largest foreign private investment in an Indian port project.
This development follows a series of major capital commitments by MSC in the region.
Adani Ports previously agreed to sell a 49% stake in one of its Indian port terminals to the Swiss group for $2.85 billion.
Additionally, Adani agreed to sell a 49% stake in its Vizhinjam International Seaport to MSC for $1.4 billion, a transaction described by Adani as the largest foreign private investment in an Indian port project.
