Ahmedabad (Gujarat) [India], Jan 27 (ANI): Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone (APSEZ) has signed an agreement with the Gujarat state government to explore possibilities of developing a dedicated air cargo complex and multi-modal logistics park.

"The company has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the government of Gujarat for exploring possibilities of development of a dedicated air cargo complex and multi-modal logistics park at Virochan Nagar near Sanand, Gujarat," the company said in regulatory filings at stock exchanges.

The APSEZ said the evaluation is subject to various regulatory and legal permissions, approvals and clearances including land acquisition.
