As per the official data, port connectivity at the Paradip Port in Odisha, Vishakhapatnam in Andhra Pradesh Jawahar Lal Nehru Port Trust in Mumbai have been completed.
“There has been some delay in completing some of the projects due to various project specific reasons including failure of the state government to provide encumbrance free land,” he said.
