Besides these, Paradeep is the only major port of the state, which contributes to outward and inward freight traffic. The Division provides rail connectivity to the private ports of Dhamra and Gopalpur also. The minor port of Astarang (near Konark) will be the next private port for which rail connectivity is being planned by the Division. As compared to 26.826 MT loading with Rs.1356.0577 Crores goods earning in 2010-11 ( Up to September), the freight loading in the Division during 2011-12 (Up to September) was 28.894 MT loading with Rs.1656.6158 Crores with the growth of 7.71 % in MT and 23.16 % in Earnings at the rate of 2434 EWUs per day in comparison to 2275 EWUs in September 2010, with the growth of 6.99 %.

OF INDIA, MINISTRY OF STEEL PREFACE It is largely being felt now by Country’s policy makers that manufacturing has to be the backbone of future growth strategy of India over the next decade. Accordingly, the new manufacturing policy aims at increasing manufacturing growth rate to 11-12% by 2016-17 and raising its share in GDP from current 16% to 25% by 2025. The policy envisages creation of National Investment & Manufacturing Zones (NIMZs) equipped with world class infrastructure facilities to promote manufacturing activities in the country. To achieve the manufacturing growth of GDP’s share from 16% to 25% by 2025, there will be substantial increase in steel demand. Some of the NMIZs are being planned in mineral rich states offering excellent potential location for setting up new steel plants. Draft National Steel Policy 2012 targets crude steel capacity of 300 Mt in the country by the middle of the next decade (2025-26). A High Level Committee on Manufacturing (HLCM) in its meeting held on 9th July 2013 which was chaired by the then Hon’ble Prime Minister endorsed the growth strategy targeting National Mission of 300 Mt crude steel output by 2025-26.

  • Dhamra Port Project Backgrounder
    DHAMRA PORT PROJECT BACKGROUNDER Orissa is probably the most significant habitat worldwide for the Olive Ridley Sea Turtle, an endangered species and afforded Schedule I status in India, on par with the tiger. The nesting beaches at Gahirmatha in Orissa are among the world’s largest – and last – mass nesting grounds for the species. The upcoming Dhamra port in Orissa’s Bhadrakh district is a 50:50 JV between Larsen & Toubro and TATA Steel. It is located less than 5 km. from the Bhitarkanika Sanctuary (a Ramsar Wetland of International Importance) and less than 15 km. from the mass nesting beaches of the Gahirmatha Marine Sanctuary. The Dhamra port has a long and controversial history. • The area of the present port site was originally notified for inclusion in the Bhitarkanika National Park in October 1988. • In June 1997, the Orissa state government officially instructed that the Dhamra area be excluded from the proposed Gahirmatha Marine Sanctuary. • In December 1997, a fresh draft notification was issued for Bhitarkanika National Park, which excluded the port area. • The Environment Impact Assessment study was undertaken by Kirloskar Consultants in 1997, with L&T and Singapore based International Seaports Ltd as the major stakeholders in the project. • In April 1998, the Orissa government asked the MoST to clear the port. • Five months later, the Orissa state government issued the final notification for the 145 sq. km. Bhitarkanika National Park, with the proposed port site now excluded from the park boundaries. • In January 2000, the MoST granted environmental clearance to the port. • In March 2000, the International Sea Turtle Symposium expressed its concern about the port being built so close to a major turtle nesting and feeding ground.

  • Dhamra Ecosystem Report Card 2016
    Paradeep-Gahirmatha- Dhamra Ecosystem Report Card 2016 Prepared by: Integrated Coastal Zone Management Project State Pollution Control Board, Odisha Ecosystems worldwide are showing the stress of growing human populations, which is linked to increased development and land-use change, and is further exacerbated by climate change (Williams et al. 2009). Aquatic systems, be they freshwater (Dudgeon et al. 2006), coastal (Pantus & Dennison 2005) or ocean (Halpern et al. 2012), are of particular concern as they provide us with our drinking water, much of our food and employment, and they are where, or near where, most of us live. Therefore it is of great importance, both to humans and to “nature” more generally, that our aquatic ecosystems are healthy, which refers to the condition and functionality of an aquatic ecosystem. However, judging whether an environment is healthy is not particularly straightforward (Samhouri et al. 2012). This is why we need to monitor aquatic systems; to get an idea of the current conditions, and to ensure that we observe changes in condition over time (Olsen et al. 1999). Given that we now actively manage our interactions with these systems, information derived from monitoring will inform us what we need to do, whether what we have already done is actually working, and areas that need additional research (Schnoor 2003). Effective monitoring is required to give a sense of the health of an ecosystem. Effective, modern methods to protect and improve ecosystems rely on an adaptive management framework (Smyth et al. 2007). This is a flexible and responsive way of ensuring that environmental management is actually achieving its goals, but it relies completely on the communication of relevant monitoring information to those doing the managing (Bunn et al.

  • Dhamra Port Case Study
    Summary The story of Dhamra Port is the story of a major corporation and a global environmental organization working together to ensure that the construction of a large deep sea industrial port in India would not harm a significant population of endangered sea turtles. From a development perspective, the site was perfect. But from a conservation perspective there were questions about its location close to one of the world’s largest nesting site of the Olive Ridley turtle, protected under Indian law. The collaboration between DPCL-Dhamra Port Company Limited (then a joint venture between Tata Steel and L&T) and IUCN shows that development and conservation can co-exist, and that there are ways to develop in a responsible manner that meets both the needs of people and the needs of nature. Lessons learned from this partnership can be applied to other projects that will have similar positive outcomes for people and for nature. Classification [to be provided] Location The location of the port is 15 kilometers crow fly towards north west from Turtle nesting beach Gahirmatha in Distrtict Bhadrak, Odisha, India. Lat: 20°49'17.24"N, Long: 86°57'51.39"E Desired behaviour change The desired behaviour change was to make key stakeholders realise that development and conservation can happen simultaneously. This behaviour change was desired particularly in both private sector entities as well as NGOs. IUCN mobilised the best scientific expertise available on the subject and constituted a team of experts to showcase how this can happen with successful on the ground models. Challenges The major challenge to this project was ensuring the success and continuity of safeguards to protect turtles from being severely impacted by port construction and ensuing long-term port activities.
