The proposed facility will have a handling capacity of 4.0 million tonnes per annum and is designed to strengthen Paradip Port’s role as a hub for green energy cargo. The infrastructure will include a dedicated jetty, storage systems, pipelines, handling equipment and associated facilities, the Ministry said in a statement.
Union Minister of Ports, Shipping and Waterways Sarbananda Sonowal said that the approval reflects the Centre’s commitment to building future-ready green infrastructure under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
“This approval is a direct outcome of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s inspiring and decisive leadership in positioning India as a global leader in clean energy. Under his guidance, our ports are being transformed into gateways for green growth, innovation and sustainable logistics,” he said.
The jetty will have a centre-to-centre distance of 279 meters between extreme end dolphins and a dredged depth of 14.3 meters in front of the berth to enable safe handling of liquid cargo vessels.
Paradip Port Authority will provide capital support equivalent to 20 percent of the project cost, amounting to INR 159.43 crore, during the construction phase. The project is expected to be completed within 24 months.
Sonowal remarked that the dedicated green hydrogen jetty will play a critical role in strengthening export logistics and integrating Odisha’s emerging green hydrogen production clusters with global markets. “The Paradip project will not only enhance cargo capacity but also catalyse investment, generate employment and create a robust green energy ecosystem in eastern India,” Sonowal added.
The facility will also include provisions for handling other liquid cargo to ensure optimal utilisation during the initial growth phase of the green hydrogen sector and to diversify Paradip Port’s cargo profile.
The proposed jetty will incorporate specialised infrastructure and advanced safety systems for handling and storing green hydrogen derivatives and other liquid cargo, supporting the development of an integrated green hydrogen ecosystem around Paradip Port.
