The meeting with Home Minister Shah comes days after Modhwadia met Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi on August 4. During the meeting, Modhwadia expressed his gratitude to the Prime Minister for the Centre’s approval of a mega shipbuilding project in Porbandar, expected to attract an investment of around Rs 27,500 crore.
