New Delhi, Feb 2026<\/strong>:\u00a0\u00a0The\u00a0Ministry of Ports, Shipping & Waterways (MoPSW)<\/strong>\u00a0has approved the development of a dedicated jetty with allied facilities for handling green hydrogen, ammonia and other liquid cargo at Paradip Port at an estimated cost of \u20b9797.17 crores. The project will be implemented by Paradip Port Authority on a build-operate-transfer (BOT) basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The proposed facility will have a handling capacity of 4.0 million tonnes per annum and is designed to strengthen Paradip Port\u2019s role as a hub for green energy cargo. The infrastructure will include a dedicated jetty, storage systems, pipelines, handling equipment and associated facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Union Minister of Ports, Shipping and Waterways Sarbananda Sonowal<\/strong> said the approval reflects the Centre\u2019s commitment to building future-ready green infrastructure under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThis approval is a direct outcome of Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji\u2019s 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,\u201d Sarbananda Sonowal <\/strong>said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Paradip Port Authority will provide capital support equivalent to 20% of the project cost, amounting to \u20b9159.43 crore, during the construction phase. The project is expected to be completed within 24 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Union Minister Sarbananda Sonowal said the dedicated green hydrogen jetty will play a critical role in strengthening export logistics and integrating Odisha\u2019s emerging green hydrogen production clusters with global markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGuided by Prime Minister Modi ji\u2019s vision of an Atmanirbhar and environmentally responsible India, we are building world-class port infrastructure that supports the National Green Hydrogen Mission. 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,\u201d Sonowal<\/strong> added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 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\u2019s cargo profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Officials said the project is aligned with the objectives of the National Green Hydrogen Mission and is expected to support investments in green energy infrastructure in Odisha while strengthening port-based logistics for clean energy commodities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The proposed jetty will incorporate specialised infrastructure and advanced safety systems for handling and storing green energy derivatives and other liquid cargo, supporting the development of an integrated green hydrogen ecosystem around Paradip Port.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Union Minister Sarbananda Sonowal Credits PM Narendra Modi\u2019s Leadership in Advancing Clean Energy Infrastructure Paradip Port to Anchor National Green Hydrogen Mission With 4 MTPA Dedicated Jetty Project New Delhi, Feb 2026:\u00a0\u00a0The\u00a0Ministry of Ports, Shipping & Waterways (MoPSW)\u00a0has approved the development of a dedicated jetty with allied facilities for handling green hydrogen, ammonia and other …<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":106174,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[142],"tags":[143],"post_format":[],"flags":[],"class_list":["post-106173","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-state","tag-state"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mavericknews30.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/106173","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mavericknews30.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mavericknews30.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mavericknews30.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mavericknews30.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=106173"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mavericknews30.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/106173\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":106175,"href":"https:\/\/mavericknews30.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/106173\/revisions\/106175"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mavericknews30.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/106174"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mavericknews30.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=106173"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mavericknews30.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=106173"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mavericknews30.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=106173"},{"taxonomy":"post_format","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mavericknews30.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fpost_format&post=106173"},{"taxonomy":"flags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mavericknews30.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fflags&post=106173"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
