The introduction of advanced port technologies and deeper berths is opening new avenues for trade, industry, and regional integration. Internationally, improved connectivity through Dhamra and Gopalpur ports has made Odisha a crucial hub for global commerce, enhancing export-import ties and market access. Domestically, focus on better coastal shipping routes and feeder services have improved connectivity to industrial and agricultural centres, ensuring seamless last-mile delivery of goods. The execution of concession agreement with JSW Utkal Steel Limited for the establishment of a captive jetty to handle cargo for its Integrated Steel Plant highlights the state's dedication to supporting industrial growth through specialised maritime infrastructure. The said project shall bring a whopping investment of Rs 2,104 Cr and employment generation (direct & indirect) of nearly 3,450 persons.

This shall bring in an investment of INR 16,554 Cr with direct & indirect employment generation of about 5,000 people. The efforts emphasise the holistic, strategic and economic development of the state through leveraging its coastline.

Furthermore, to improve safety in inland water transport, the Directorate Ports & IWT has distributed nearly 35,000 life-saving equipment (lifebuoys, life jackets and fire extinguishers) to boat owners with a 95% subsidy, concluded the officials.
