Dhamra Port expansion to boost Odisha mineral logistics

The Dhamra Port expansion project in Odisha is set to enhance maritime and mineral logistics operations along India’s eastern coast. Located in the Bhadrak District, the deep-water port serves as a vital link for exporting iron ore, coal, and other bulk goods from the region's mineral-rich hinterlands.

The expansion aims to increase cargo handling capacity to meet the growing logistics needs of Odisha and eastern India. By addressing current transport constraints, the project is expected to benefit manufacturing, mining, and export firms by improving the movement of goods from mining centers to both local and overseas markets.
