APSEZ is selected as the highest bidder for two dry bulk berths at Paradip Port, with plans to increase capacity in Odisha by about 18 million tonnes. The company is set to develop and operate the berths, expanding the port’s dry bulk handling capability.
Both reports describe the project as being awarded through a concession arrangement. They also agree on the scale of the added capacity and the location at Paradip Port. The main difference is emphasis: Business Line highlights APSEZ’s status as the highest bidder and reiterates the concession term, while Times of India focuses on the company’s win and the resulting capacity addition. No additional details about competing bidders, investment amounts, or expected timelines are provided in the excerpts.
Overall, the outlets converge on the central point that APSEZ will secure and carry out the dry bulk berth project at Paradip Port, linked to a long-term concession for development and operations.
