Back ABG Infra gets Haldia dock contract

Our Bureau

Kolkata, April 25 The Board of Trustees of Kolkata Port Trust at a meeting held here on Saturday approved by majority votes the resolution relating to the award of contract to ABG Infralogistics for equipping and operating two berths, 2 and 8, of Haldia dock, according to KoPT sources.

The port authorities will shortly issue the letter of intent to the firm, the sources observe, adding that the award of contract will yield substantial revenue for the port.

It might be noted that the award of the contract has been delayed due to opposition from a section of members of the Board as well as officials of the port. A Public Interest Litigation too has been filed in Calcutta High Court.
