Quote:The CCEA also approved expansion of Paradeep port in Odisha at an initial cost of ₹ ₹3005 crore to enable it to handle large cargo ships under Public-Private Partnership (PPP) mode. This includes development of the new Western Dock and capital dredging by the selected Concessionaire at a cost of Rs.2,040 crore and Rs.352.1 crore respectively; and investment by Paradip Port to the tune of Rs.612.5 Crore towards providing Common Supporting Project Infrastructure.

“On commissioning of the project, it shall cater to the requirement of coal & limestone imports besides export of granulated slag & finished steel products considering the large number of steel plants established in the hinterland of Paradip Port. The project shall also facilitate (i) de-congestion of the Port, (ii) reduce Sea freight making coal imports cheaper, and (iii) boost the industrial economy in the hinterland of the port leading to creation of job opportunities," the Cabinet Secretariat said in a statement.

Quote:Plastics Park, Paradeep

The consumption of plastic products has increased exponentially over the past years, making Asia the largest consumer of plastics in the world. Odisha has realized this need and proposed to set up a Plastic Park at Paradeep to synergize and consolidate the raw material potential, and to promote vertically integrated infrastructure in making value added products. This park is developed over an area of 120 acres and an estimated investment of $16 million on infrastructure. The park is also strategically situated very close to IOCL with a committed feedstock of polypropylene and ethylene and well connected multi modal transportation system.

The park shall house state-of-the-art manufacturing units and common facilities with development of a Plastic Products Evaluation Centre (PPEC) with testing facilities, processing hall/ shop floor, tool room, design and product development facility with simulation and evaluation supporting the development for the downstream plastic industry.

The park offers investment opportunities in Plastic & polymer segments in extrusion, injection moulding, blow moulding, engineering plastics etc.

Quote:Aluminium Park, Angul

The Aluminium Park at Angul in Odisha is an exclusive state-of-the-art industrial park for ancillary and downstream industries for alumina and aluminium.

Odisha accounts for nearly 55% of the bauxite presence in India and the park has been envisaged to leverage on this advantage and encourage investment in aluminium based industries. Spread over an area of 223 acres, the park is strategically located at a distance of only 4 km from the National Highway 42. It is also first of its kind park in the sub–continent with a facility for directly having molten aluminium from the smelter. About $29 million is proposed to be spent on developing a state-of-the-art infrastructure to facilitate the industries. The park is also strategically well connected by means of roadways and railways and international airport. Paradeep port, one of the largest ports in India and a gateway to the ASEAN markets is just 174 km away from the park.

The project features an exclusive infrastructure and common facility for downstream industries in the aluminium sector. The infrastructure is designed with plug-and-play facilities, which enable the industries to setup in minimal time and begin production. The project also ensures committed feedstock of metal for the industries. Major investment opportunities lay in the value added products to cater to white goods, auto components, construction and other industries.

Quote:Dhamra investment region 

The Dhamra Investment Region is envisioned to become a stepping stone in the development of a resilient and responsible port city in the Dhamra region with a focus on controlled and sustainable urban growth while supporting local livelihoods.

Consisting of six optimally designed industrial zones with world class facilities, the project's multi-sectoral approach would offer the ideal environment for setting up manufacturing facilities for various industries such as food processing, textiles, fertilisers, chemicals and pharmaceuticals. It would also be equipped with a logistics hub, which would handle domestic and international traffic from its industrial zones as well as support adjacent industrial clusters. Additionally, it would have dedicated commercial, recreational and residential zones making Dhamra a self-contained ecosystem.

The region has the advantage of excellent road, rail and port connectivity and is proposed to be developed as one of the coastal economic zones under the Sagarmala programme. Its port connectivity would make Dhamra an excellent value proposition for industries looking to tap into the rapidly growing markets of South-East Asia.

Supplemented with favourable state policies and abundant resource availability, Dhamra is well poised to open fresh avenues for industrial development on the east coast of India.
