Infrastructure building majors including Adani Ports & Special Economic Zone (APSEZ), Essar Ports, Dubai-based DP World and Navayuga Engineering Company have joined the race to bag the contract for building and operating a riverine port project, planned by the Odisha government at a cost of Rs.2,110 crore. On this score, all the four companies have cleared the RFQ (Request for Qualification) stage. They are now vying for the next stage of bids, to be conducted very shortly, said official sources, claiming that the port is planned on the Mahanadi river at Akhadasali village, Mahakalpada, in Kendrapada district. It is modeled to be similar to the one built in Gujarat, on the Tapti river mouth. The cargo potential is pegged at 44 million tons per annum (mtpa), with the first-phase capacity at 18 mtpa and proposed on a BOOST (build, own, operate, share and transfer) model. The land would be provided by the state authority to the concessionaire on a lease. The scope of work covers development and construction — including the container yard, terminal buildings, cargo handling equipment, construction of berths, facilities for cargo storage covering operation and maintenance.
