Finally Magdalla Port was opened out in the year 1966 as an intermediate Port during which year the port has handled Bananas as export cargo and fertilizers, foodgrain as Import cargo. In the year 1979 Kakarapar and Ukai Dam was constructed on Tapti river thereafter in 1979-80 M/s. Narmada Cement Co. Ltd., was established. Magdalla Port came into operation from the year 1982. Number of big industries have been setup on the banks of river Tapi.
