en.Wedoany.com Reported - The West Bengal government has abandoned its long-pursued plan for a deep-sea port at Tajpur, opting instead for Dadanpatrabar, approximately 10 kilometers away, where the government already has about 1,700 acres of land available for development.

Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari announced this shift after meeting with Union Minister of Ports, Shipping and Waterways Sarbananda Sonowal on Thursday. The Chief Minister stated that the Tajpur site was deemed unfeasible due to a lack of available government land and insufficient railway and road connectivity required for constructing a deep-sea port. The Adani Group, previously shortlisted for the project, had withdrawn, with land constraints cited as a key reason.

Adhikari noted that at Dadanpatrabar, the state government's industrial department owns 1,700 acres of land, with the option to acquire additional land if needed. The central government has agreed to issue a no-objection certificate, and the project will proceed under a revenue-sharing model between the Union and state governments.

This move marks a significant adjustment in West Bengal's flagship coastal infrastructure project, which has faced delays and political controversies for years. The new site is expected to provide better conditions for railway and road connectivity, warehousing, and the port-related industrial infrastructure needed for the new deep-water terminal.
