Gammon Infrastructure Projects Ltd, part of construction major Gammon India Ltd, has hiked its stake in Vizag Seaport Pvt Ltd to 73.76% from 42.22%, according to its filing with the stock exchange.

The move follows Gammon Infrastructure's purchase of 2.28 crore equity shares of Vizag Seaport Pvt Ltd (VSPL) from International Port Services Pvt Ltd, the investment arm of UK-based Portia Management Services Ltd (Gammon's joint venture partner in VSPL).

Though the company did not disclose the value of the transaction, reports suggest it could be around Rs 33 crore.
