Adani Ports & Special Economic Zone (APSEZ) and Essar Ports would compete with Dubai’s DP World and Navayuga Engineering Company to get the contract for building and operating a riverine port project, planned by the Odisha government at a cost of Rs 2,110 crore.
“All four companies have cleared the RFQ (Request for Qualification) stage. They would now vie for the next stage of bids, to be conducted shortly,” said a state government official.
The port is planned on the Mahanadi river at Akhadasali village, Mahakalpada, in Kendrapada district. It is modelled on one built in Gujarat, on the Tapti river mouth.
