Dear Stakeholders, Trade Partners, and Colleagues,

It gives me immense pleasure to extend my warm greetings to all those associated with Paradip Port Authority — our valued stakeholders, trusted trade partners, esteemed customers, and our dedicated officers and employees who continue to serve with commitment and excellence.

Paradip Port has always stood as a symbol of growth, resilience, and reliability in India’s maritime sector. Over the decades, the Port has evolved into a major gateway for international and coastal trade, connecting the vast hinterland of Odisha and the eastern and central states of India with the global market.

Our remarkable achievements are the result of collective effort, strategic planning, and a constant focus on modernization. The ongoing infrastructure projects — such as the Western Dock Expansion, mechanization of berths, development of deep-draft facilities, and integrated traffic and cargo management systems — are designed to enhance capacity, operational efficiency, and service quality.

We are also committed to embracing digital transformation and smart port initiatives, ensuring transparency and faster cargo movement through automation and technology-driven solutions. These advancements strengthen Paradip Port’s competitiveness and position it as a future-ready logistics hub.

At the same time, we recognize our responsibility toward environmental sustainability and community development. Through the adoption of renewable energy, pollution control measures, and welfare programs for local communities, we aim to ensure inclusive and sustainable growth. Paradip Port Authority continues to support initiatives in education, health care, skill development, and environmental protection for the betterment of society.

None of these successes would have been possible without the tireless efforts of our employees and the steadfast cooperation of our trade partners, shipping agencies, and government authorities. I extend my sincere gratitude to each one of you for your continuous support and trust.

As we move ahead, Paradip Port Authority remains dedicated to achieving excellence in port management, contributing to India’s “Maritime Vision 2030,” and playing a pivotal role in realizing the dream of a self-reliant and globally competitive maritime nation.

Let us continue to work together — with shared purpose and determination — to make Paradip Port the most preferred, sustainable, and technologically advanced maritime gateway in the country.
