With the Kolkata Dock System’s second dock, it can now manage 87.5 million tonnes of cargo annually. The Haldia Dock Complex achieved a record 49.54 MT throughput, surpassing the previous 48,608 MT in FY 2023. Users loading dry bulk like coal and iron ore get up to Rs 100 off per tonne, reducing costs. Syamprasad Mookerjee Port hit a record 66.4 MT in FY 2024 and aims for 70 MT in FY 2025.
Netaji Subhas Dock is a major container terminal on India’s east coast, handling 0.63 million TEU in FY 2024. Serving states like West Bengal, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, and Assam, it is a key hub for liner vessels en route to transshipment hubs in Port Kelang, Colombo, and Singapore.
SMPK plans to award PPP projects worth over ₹800 crore in the next three months. Projects approved at Netaji Subhash Dock aim to increase container and cargo handling capacity. These projects, executed in DBFOT mode, are part of a larger effort to enhance efficiency and capacity within the port system.
