THEME: Gateway to the East: Building Odisha's Smart Maritime–Logistics Future. A two-day, high-level industry forum convening port authorities, shipping lines, steel & manufacturing majors, exporters, policymakers and infrastructure developers to chart the next phase of Odisha's logistics transformation.
Odisha is rapidly emerging as India's most strategically positioned maritime-industrial state. With a 575-km coastline, port capacity expanding from 400 MTPA towards 500 MTPA by 2047, and large-scale investments across petrochemicals, steel, green hydrogen, EVs and technical textiles, the state is entering a new logistics era — led by Paradip Port's historic rise as India's leading cargo-handling port.
The Dhamra–Paradip–Gopalpur belt is evolving into a powerful maritime-industrial corridor, backed by multimodal connectivity, industrial clusters, green-energy projects and private-sector participation. Massive investments in green hydrogen and ammonia, shipbuilding, container terminals and integrated logistics parks are reshaping cargo patterns and EXIM flows.
As manufacturing expands and port capacities scale up, the next imperative is clear: a smart, technology-driven, multimodal logistics ecosystem that connects production to ports efficiently, sustainably and competitively — strengthening Odisha's position as India's Gateway to the East and ASEAN.
Three business sessions and two cross-cutting themes — built to convert Odisha's industrial growth into seamless, sustainable, competitive cargo movement.
A working forum — three business sessions, a CEO round table, the Smart Logistics Awards and structured networking across two days at DN Square.
A deliberately curated room of decision-makers across the maritime, port and logistics value chain — from cargo owners to terminal operators.
Associate and participate in the flagship edition of the Smart Logistics Summit & Awards — Bhubaneswar 2026.
