Paradip Port Surpasses 150.22 Million Tonnes Throughput

Bhubaneswar, March 20. Paradip Port Authority (PPA) reported that it surpassed 150.22 million tonnes (mn t) of cargo throughput on March 19, with 12 days remaining in the fiscal year 2025–2026. The port achieved the milestone ahead of schedule, marking a significant lift in annual handling compared with prior years.

The authority attributed the performance to targeted efficiency measures, incremental capacity enhancement and improvements in hinterland linkage. Operational processes were streamlined and terminal productivity gains contributed to faster vessel turnaround and more reliable cargo flows. These collective measures supported consistent daily handling that cumulatively produced the haul.

The achievement was said to reflect the concerted efforts of the workforce, private operators and logistics partners, and to underscore resilience amid dynamic market conditions. The port sustained an upward trajectory in throughput through coordinated planning, optimised berth utilisation and technology adoption that reduced bottlenecks. Management indicated that continued focus on maintenance, scheduling and skills development would preserve momentum.

With the fiscal year still open, the authority is positioned to pursue a new annual record and to consolidate gains into the next planning cycle. The improved throughput is expected to enhance supply chain reliability for industrial and export sectors that rely on Paradip for bulk handling. Authorities plan to monitor performance closely and to prioritise incremental investments alongside stakeholder coordination.

The milestone reinforces Paradip's role as a major eastern seaboard gateway and offers policy makers and industry a tangible metric of port capacity realisation. Continued emphasis on operational discipline, multimodal connectivity and private sector participation was highlighted as central to sustaining growth. Stakeholders will track final fiscal outcomes to assess whether a new benchmark is set.
