06 Mar 2026 CW Team

The Union Minister of Ports, Shipping and Waterways, Sarbananda Sonowal, said that the project would enhance cargo capacity and catalyse investment while generating employment and supporting a green energy ecosystem in eastern India. The ministry noted that the facility will include provisions for handling other liquid cargo to ensure optimal utilisation during the initial growth phase of the green hydrogen sector. The inclusion of multiple cargo types is intended to diversify Paradip Port's cargo profile and improve operational flexibility.

The ministry stated that the project aligns with the objectives of the National Green Hydrogen Mission and is expected to support investments in green energy infrastructure in Odisha. The proposed jetty will incorporate specialised infrastructure and advanced safety systems for handling and storing green energy derivatives and other liquid cargo. Authorities envisage that these measures will strengthen port-based logistics for clean energy commodities and encourage ancillary industrial activity around the port. The infrastructure is planned to meet regulatory and industry safety norms.

Implementation on a build-operate-transfer basis is intended to attract private participation and manage project risks while enabling public oversight. The development is presented as a catalyst for regional economic activity without displacing existing port operations. Stakeholders are expected to coordinate further planning to integrate the jetty with wider transport and energy networks. Timelines and operational details will be finalised through consultations with operators and investors.
