Privatization of Pandu and Dhubri River Ports in Assam Underway
Guwahati, 6th September: In a significant development for Assam’s infrastructure, the Pandu and Dhubri river ports have transitioned into private hands.
The responsibility for managing and operating these vital ports along the Brahmaputra River has been entrusted to A to Z Exim Private Limited through a leasing agreement, spanning a period of five years. This agreement has been formally executed in collaboration with the Union Ministry of Ports and Shipping.
Both Pandu and Dhubri ports hold substantial importance in the realms of both domestic and international trade. A to Z Exim Private Limited has already assumed operational control of the Dhubri port in Assam since August 25, 2023.
In addition, the company is poised to commence operations at the Pandu port in Guwahati, Assam’s capital city, starting September 6, 2023.
