Mumbai: Shipping Corporation of India (SCI) Ltd, India's shipping major, will build two of the country's largest container terminals - one each at Navi Mumbai and Ennore ports - said a top company official here Thursday.
The Navi Mumbai port is managed by the Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust(JNPT).
"We are planning to set up a fourth terminal in JNPT and a container terminal at Ennore, each having a capacity of four million twenty-foot equivalent units.
