|
Answer» Haldia Port has been developed to release congestion at Kolkata Port. This port is located at the confluence of river Hugli about 105 km. downstream from Kolkata. • It receives larger vessels which otherwise would have gone to Kolkata. • Some of the large vessels which cannot enter the Kolkata port can easily come up to Haldia. • The hinterland of port Haldia is more or less the same as that of Kolkata. It covers a vast area which includes almost the whole of eastern and northeastern parts of the country. |
