Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone said that its fully owned subsidiary HDC Bulk Terminal (HBTL) and Syama Prasad Mookerjee Port, Kolkata (SMPK), have inked a concession agreement for the mechanisation of Berth No. 2 at Haldia Port.
Adani Ports had announced in February of this year that it had received a letter of award (LoA) from Syama Prasad Mookerjee Port, Kolkata, for the development and operation of Berth No. 2 at the Haldia Dock complex, Syama Prasad Mookerjee Port, Kolkata, on a design, build, finance, operate, and transfer basis.
Karan Adani, CEO and whole time director of APSEZ, said: “The mechanization and upgradation of Haldia Bulk Terminal provides us the opportunity to firmly establish APSEZ’s footprint in Bengal.”
With this fully mechanized facility, we aim to set a higher benchmark in port operations and environmental practices. This terminal, alongside our existing world class ports and terminals along the east coast of India, will synergize APSEZ’s services and enhance customer experience.
