Paradip, Aug. 31 :<\/strong> The National Shipbuilding and Heavy Industries Park, Odisha Ltd. (NSHIPOL) has received In-Principle Approval under the Shipbuilding Development Scheme (SbDS) of the Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways, Government of India. The proposed project is suitably located along the Mahanadi riverbank in Kendrapara, Odisha, marking a significant step towards strengthening the State\u2019s shipbuilding and maritime industrial ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NSHIPOL submitted its application under Unique Application Number (UAN) GY700010 on July 30, 2026. Following detailed consideration of the proposal in accordance with the Shipbuilding Development Scheme guidelines, the Competent Authority granted the In-Principle Approval on August 10, 2026. The approval follows the directions of the 6th meeting of the Inter-Ministerial Group for Shipbuilding (IMGB) of the National Shipbuilding Mission, held on the same day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shri P. L. Haranadh, IRTS, Chairperson, Paradip Port Authority, said, \u201cThe In-Principle Approval is an important milestone in Odisha\u2019s maritime development journey. The proposed Shipbuilding and Heavy Industries Park in Kendrapara has the potential to strengthen shipbuilding capabilities, attract investment, create employment opportunities and promote the development of ancillary industries in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of the next phase, NSHIPOL will prepare a Detailed Project Report (DPR) covering the proposed shipyard\u2019s infrastructure, vessel specifications, capital expenditure, dredging and breakwater requirements and financial model. The project will also progress towards obtaining necessary statutory approvals, including Environmental Clearance (EC), Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) permissions and other applicable clearances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NSHIPOL will submit its proposal for Final Approval, along with the DPR, statutory clearances and investment commitments, within the prescribed timeline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
