Lighthouse, Paradip

Lighthouse is a magnificent 40 m RCC circular tower that can be visited in the evening. With one of the major ports being set-up in Paradip in the 1960s, the need for a lighthouse arose, and that is how the Paradip Lighthouse was established in 1987. A year after the set-up, M/s Asia Navigation Aids, New Delhi, supplied for this lighthouse a three-panel PRB-21 equipment.

In 1992, a technologically advanced equipment for Radio Beacon supplied by M/s Marine And Communication Electronics (MACE) commenced transmission. In fact, this was a replacement for a nearby Radio Beacon at the False Point Lighthouse, which had to be discontinued owing to logistic issues. Today, the Paradip Lighthouse offers logistic assistance to the False Point Lighthouse. If you ever visit this lighthouse, do not forget to visit the Paradip Sea Beach and Paradip Port, which are at a stone’s throw from this place.
