Paradip port to raise capacity

Unfazed by a fall in traffic to 54.25 mn tonne in 2011-12 from 56.03 mn tonne in the previous year, Paradip Port Trust has drawn up ambitious plans to raise its capacity to 251 mn tonne by 2020 and also set up a satellite port in Odisha. The port handled a traffic of 54.25 mn tonne as against the previous year’s traffic of 56.03 mn tonne and target of 63 mn tonne.Contact: Paradip Port Trust.Tel: 06722-222 046.Fax: 06722-222 256.Website: www.paradipport.gov.in
