PARADIP: The first move towards development of the proposed Bahuda Satellite Port was taken with the Paradip Port Authority (PPA) conducting the first on-ground inspection of the project site at Chikiti in Ganjam on Friday.

PPA chairman PL Haranadh and deputy chairman T Venu Gopal along with board members and senior officials inspected the site, kicking off on-site activities. Memorandum of understanding was signed for development of the greenfield deep-sea port in September last year.

With a planned investment of Rs 21,500 crore, the Bahuda Satellite Port is expected to add to Odisha’s maritime capacity and support India’s growing trade requirements. The port is being designed to handle large vessels, streamline cargo movement and ease congestion at existing ports along the eastern coast.
