SMP Kolkata Awards Rs 3.44 Billion Haldia Project

 The Syama Prasad Mookerjee Port, Kolkata (SMPK) has awarded a Rs 3.44 billion public–private partnership (PPP) project to Ganges Bulk Terminal Pvt Ltd (GBTPL) for the mechanisation of berth No. 5 at the Haldia Dock Complex, aimed at boosting cargo handling efficiency.
The project will be carried out on a Design, Build, Finance, Operate and Transfer (DBFOT) basis, equipping the berth to handle five million metric tonnes of dry bulk cargo annually. Completion is targeted for December 2027.
GBTPL will invest Rs 3.44 billion, while the government will contribute Rs 223 million through internal and extra-budgetary resources. SMPK chairman Rathendra Raman said the initiative will enhance operational capabilities and strengthen eastern India’s role in maritime trade.
Port authorities noted that the mechanisation will cut vessel turnaround time, improve throughput, and generate long-term economic benefits for the regional port sector.
