Visakhapatnam Port Authority takes over possession of Sports Complex, Kalavani A/C Auditorium

Visakhapatnam Port Authority (VPA) has taken over possession of its Sports Complex and Kalavani A/C Auditorium, located in the Nehru Sports & Cultural Complex at Saligramapuram, on Monday pursuant to termination of the respective lease agreements.

The Sports Complex was earlier leased to Vishwanadh Sports & Conventions Pvt. Ltd., while the Kalavani A/C Auditorium was leased to Vishwanadh Avenues (India) Pvt. Ltd. In view of non-fulfilment of the terms and conditions of the respective lease agreements, termination notices were issued by VPA on 11.09.2025, in accordance with the provisions of the lease.

Consequent upon issuance of the termination notices and completion of due process, possession of the facilities was taken over by VPA on Monday in the presence of revenue officials of the State Government.

The takeover was carried out in an orderly manner and the premises have reverted to the custody of VPA.

VPA will take necessary steps for safeguarding the assets and will examine future utilisation of the facilities in accordance with applicable rules and policies, keeping in view the interest of the port and the public, an official said.
