Adani Ports, JSW to Ink Odisha Port Deals Worth Rs 180 Bn

Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone (APSEZ) and JSW Infrastructure are preparing to sign agreements with the Odisha government for the development of Gopalpur and Jatadhar Muhan ports, involving a total investment of approximately Rs 180 billion. These projects are expected to play a key role in strengthening Odisha’s industrial infrastructure, enhancing employment opportunities, and advancing the state's ambition to become a major logistics and industrial hub on India’s eastern coast.

APSEZ, India’s largest private port operator, plans to invest around Rs 15,000 crore in the development of Gopalpur Port. This follows its acquisition of a majority stake in Gopalpur Ports (GPL) from the Shapoorji Pallonji Group. The company is set to submit a comprehensive master plan to the state government to transform Gopalpur into a major port facility.

Strategically located between Paradip and Visakhapatnam, Gopalpur Port benefits from connectivity via National Highway 16 and a railway line that links to the Chennai–Howrah mainline. This positioning complements APSEZ’s existing operations at Dhamra and Gangavaram ports.

Gopalpur Port is a deep-water, multi-cargo facility with a current handling capacity of 20 million tonnes. It primarily manages dry bulk cargo, including iron ore, coal, and alumina. The port operates under a 30-year concession agreement with the Odisha government and follows a revenue-sharing model, contributing 7.5% of its revenue to the state.
