"We are ready to receive them (Adani Ports officials). In the meeting with Chief Minister Oommen Chandy, the date of signing the agreement with Adani Ports will be finalised," Minister for Ports and Excise K. Babu told IANS.
The Kerala government this week handed over an offer letter to Adani Ports to build the port.

Adani Ports was the lone bidder and has sought Rs.1,635 crore as grant for the project. - IANS
