  • Tebma Shipyard
  • L & T Hazira

Some of the new entrants are:

  • Ruia group
  • Shipping corp. of India

With respect to Orissa, Bharati shipyard together with Apeejay plan to have a shipyard in Dhamara. Following is a report in today’s Dharitri about the land acquisition effort for that. (The last sentence that got cut says: This project is to start in 2008 and is scheduled to be completed by 2016.)

Dharitri has a nice article on the golden future of Dhamara. Following are some of the major projects involving Dhamara. My prediction is that in 10-15 years the Chandbali-Dhamara-Bhitarakanika area will be a beautiful metropolitan area  next to a national park. (See top right in this map.)

  1. L & T and the Tatas are building a port in Dhamara.
  2. Central government is upgrading Dhamara fishing jetty  to an international fishing harbor.
  3. Bharati Shipyard and Appejay group plan to build a shipyard in Dhamara.
  4. A railway line connecting Dhamara and Bhadrakh will be build.
  5. Good roads will definitely connect Dhamara to nearby National Highways.
  6. Dhamara will be a major stop in National Waterway 5.
  7. Dhamara is next to the Bhitarakanika National Park (more)
