'''Dugarajapatnam Port''' is a proposed seaport in [[Tirupati district]] of [[Andhra Pradesh, India]]. Construction was expected to start in 2020 and finish in 2023. It will be controlled by the Union government, alongside [[Visakhapatnam Port]] in the state of Andhra Pradesh, and would cost nearly {{INRConvert|8000|c}}.<ref>{{cite news|title=Dugarajapatnam Port to get 5,000 acres land to start with|url=http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/tp-andhrapradesh/dugarajapatnam-port-to-get-5000-acres-land-to-start-with/article4707874.ece|accessdate=26 July 2014|work=The Hindu|date=12 May 2013|location=NELLORE}}</ref> The port is set up under India's [[Companies Act 1956]] with [[equity participation]] of the [[government of Andhra Pradesh]].<ref>{{cite news|author1=P.Manoj|title=Dugarajapatnam in Andhra Pradesh to have new major port|url=http://www.livemint.com/Politics/bOhk7gMjTCGnUqamWzNYAM/Dugarajapatnam-in-Andhra-Pradesh-to-have-new-major-port.html|accessdate=26 July 2014|work=Live Mint and The Wall Street Journal|date=10 May 2013}}</ref><br />

The construction encountered certain objections as the sensitive ecosystem of [[Pulicat Lake]] and the satellite launching station [[ISRO]] of [[Sriharikota]] are very near to Duggarajapatnam. After environmental and forest clearances, the location was shifted to Vagarru at Tupilipalem village. Tupilipalem is located 20&nbsp;km from Dugarajapatnam, but the port will be still be referred to as Dugarajapatnam Port.<ref name=port>{{cite news|title=Decks cleared for Dugarajapatnam port|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/hyderabad/Decks-cleared-for-Dugarajapatnam-port/articleshow/30299638.cms|accessdate=9 July 2014|work=Times of India|date=13 February 2013}}</ref> The district administration is taking steps to acquire approximately {{convert|5028|acres|ha|abbr=on}} of land at the new location.<ref name=port /><br />
