'''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>

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 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 />
