Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Limited (APSEZ) has received the Letter of Award (LoA) to develop and operate two dry bulk berths (CQ-I and CQ-II) at Paradip Port in Odisha under a 30-year Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model.
-
Capacity Expansion: The project adds 18 million metric tonnes (MMT) of new capacity, elevating APSEZ’s total portfolio to 671 MMTPA and driving toward its goal of 1 billion tonnes of cargo throughput by 2030.
-
Strategic Location: Situated in a mineral-rich hinterland surrounded by major steel plants, the expansion strengthens APSEZ’s East Coast presence and addresses high regional capacity utilization.
-
Infrastructure Growth: The development features state-of-the-art mechanized cargo handling systems, deep-draft berths, and large-scale storage facilities to manage rising volumes of coal, limestone, and other dry bulk commodities.
-
Network Reach: With this addition, APSEZ’s domestic network expands to 16 ports and terminals across India’s coastline, supporting industrial growth in eastern and central manufacturing clusters.
The initiative aligns with expanding hinterland steel production and the government’s push for domestic coal, reinforcing Adani Ports’ position as a dominant player managing approximately 27 percent of India’s total port volumes.
