Steel handling at the Dhamra port started with the receipt of first rack from the Tata Steel’s Kalinga Nagar plant by train recently.

In the first phase 6,000 MT steel coil was received by the Dhamra Port. With this, a new chapter in the profile of the port has commenced.

Notably, recently the Adani Ports signed a long term re-gasification pact with the Indian Oil for the Dhamra lNG terminal. The proposed Dhamra lNG import terminal is designed for an initial capacity of 5 MTPA, expandable up to 10 MTPA.  Initially, it will have two full containment type tanks of 180,000 m3 capacity each. It will be first of its kind in India and second lNG terminal on the east coast after IOC’s Ennore terminal in Tamil Nadu.
