- Machilipatnam (Masulipatnam) was a major port city since the Satavahana era and flourished under the Golconda Sultanate.
- It was once a global trade hub for muslin and textiles, with Dutch, British, and French trade posts in the 17th century.
- It will boost exports and imports (coal, cement, pharma, fertilisers, containers) and connect inland via a proposed dry port in Telangana.
