“We have kept funds aside for developing the Tajpur port,” Tripathi said, hinting at his scheduled meeting with senior state officials to discuss plans to take the project forward.
Subrat said, his company was waiting for the LOA (letter of agreement) from the state government. The Bengal government is currently on the job of procuring certain security clearances for the proposed port from ministries like defence and others. “We have the LOI (letter of intent). Now, we need the LOA. On getting the LOA from the Bengal government, we shall proceed for environment clearances for which studies will have to be initiated. We want to begin the studies this monsoon,” Tripathi said.
