The Dhamra Port is a port in Bhadrak district, Odisha, India, on the shore of the Bay of Bengal about seven kilometres from Dhamra town. The agreement to develop the port was signed in April 1998. The Dhamra Port Company Limited (DPCL) was formed as a result of a 50:50 joint venture between Larsen & Toubro and TATA Steel to run the port.[2] The Port received its first vessel on 8 February 2010 and the first commercial vessel on 10 April 2011.[3] The Port has an initial capacity of 25 million tonnes annually, eventually growing to 80 million tonnes annually.[4] Greenpeace has opposed the project, claiming it threatens nearby protected areas and endangered species such as the olive ridley turtle[5]
