<br />
==Background==<br />
For over 40 years there was only one major port in [[Odisha]], at [[Paradip]] with less major ports at [[Gopalpur-on-Sea|Gopalpur]] and [[Dhamra Port]]. That picture has changed dramatically in the past few years.<ref>{{cite web|url =http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/2009/12/14/stories/2009121451090500.htm |title = Orissa to become a State of ports | publisher = The Hindu Business Line, 14 December 2009 | accessdate = 2010-04-27 }}</ref><br />
<br />
Based on a study by [[IIT Madras]], the Government of Odisha had identified 13 locations along the state's {{convert|480|km}} coast line as suitable for setting up of ports. Thereafter, in order to facilitate the setting up of new ports with participation of private parties the state government had formulated in 2004 a separate port policy.<ref>{{cite web|url =http://www.business-standard.com/india/news/port-development-likely-to-suffer/344710/ |title = Port development likely to suffer | publisher = Business Standard, 30 December 2008 | accessdate = 2010-04-27 }}</ref><br />
By which private companies are investing in the state of [[Odisha]] to develop non-major ports. The Mahanadi Riverine Port is one of them.<br />
<br />
==Location==<br />
The [[Port]] will be located in the North Bank of [[Mahanadi River]] in the revenue village Mahakalpada, Dist. [[Kendrapara district|Kendrapara]].<br />
<br />
