Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone (APSEZ) has secured the development and operation rights for two dry bulk berths (CQ-I and CQ-II) at Paradip Port, Odisha, India's second-largest major port. This 30-year public-private partnership project adds 18 million metric tonnes of mechanised dry bulk handling capacity, increasing APSEZ's domestic portfolio to 671 MMT. The expansion strengthens APSEZ's presence on India's eastern coast, enhancing access to industrial and mineral-rich regions and supporting its goal of handling 1 billion tonnes of cargo by 2030.
