●West Bengal -The Land of Unlimited Potential.
Tajpur Port one of the biggest upcoming projects in West Bengal.The Bengal Government has decided to go ahead and construct the deep sea PORT in TAJPUR in Purba Medinipur district all by itself, estimated cost of this project around Rs 25,000 Crore.
It will be one of Biggest project in Bengal history....the project can attract over 1lakhth cr investment in West Bengal, in infrastructure,transport, logistics, ware house,cold chain, LNG,Aviation , Shipping Industry & Real estate etc.The project can generate 2 lakh direct and indirect job.
Infrastructure
The West Bengal govt has started the process of constructing Greenfield port at tajpur.The sea port will be built on over 1000 acre .The Tajpur Port is expected to offer 16-18 metre draft & 350 meter wide channel.
The port will have 6 berths in first phase and 9 more in the next phase.The dip sea port will be covered by six lane road and rail line.The project can handle approx 100 million tonnes of cargo annually.
Strategic location
The port will be the gateway to trade in the State ofWB,Assam,Tripura,Meghalaya,Mizaram,Jharkhand & Chattrishgar etc and three countries Nepal,Bangladesh and Bhutan.
I think the port Will be a main gateway to North-East India .....also think this single project can attach investment worth over $15 billion or over one lakh cr- in next few years.
Economic Feasibility
A report by domestic rating agency Smera Rating says the critical location of West Bengal makes it the potential business hub of a USD 3 trillion regional economy by 2035, when the National GDP is likely to touch USD 11.34 trillion.
But I think India has huge potential, GDP likely to touch USD 10 trillion by 2032 & Bengal economy likely to USD 1.5 trillion by 2032.
Also think, eastern region lead by West Bengal expected to contribute at least 25% of the country’s GDP by 2032. That's mean eastern regional economy likely to USD 2.5 trillion by 2032.
I think Tajpur can expect big ticket investment around $15 billion from port-based coastal Industries such as- Refinery,Chemical,Rubber,LNG,Logistics,shipping Industry,Solar-wind power,steel,Hotel,Real estate & infrastructure etc.
Job opportunity-Tajpur port has potential to generate over 2 lakh direct-indirect jobs.
I think Tajpur deep sea port will be game changer,will improve regional logistics and export efficiency of the state.It would help West Bengal to become a manufacturing hub.
