The Paradip Port Authority (PPA) has set a new record by handling 50 million metric tonnes (MMT) of cargo within just four months of the current financial year, achieving the milestone faster than ever before. This was accomplished four days earlier than in the previous year, underlining the port’s growing efficiency and operational prowess.

Port officials attributed this achievement to well-executed strategies, a committed workforce, and consistent support from stakeholders.

Coal cargo contributed 22.06 MMT, reflecting a modest 0.53 per cent increase year-on-year. Meanwhile, container cargo witnessed a notable 27.80 per cent surge, signalling the port’s diversification and growing capacity. Crude oil cargo rose to 11.36 MMT, with a 14.97 per cent increase, and fertiliser raw materials grew by 8.41 per cent compared to the same period last fiscal.

PPA Chairman P. L. Haranadh extended his gratitude to the Union Minister for Ports, Shipping and Waterways, Sarbananda Sonowal, for his dynamic leadership.

“With the relentless efforts of our dedicated workforce and the continued trust of our customers, we shall keep scripting remarkable success stories for Paradip Port,” Haranadh stated.

Buoyed by enhanced operational efficiency and strategic infrastructure upgrades, PPA is confident of achieving its cargo throughput targets for FY 2025–26.
