It is mainly involved in maintenance dredging; almost all the maintenance dredging in Indian seaports is carried out by DCI. DCI is also involved in capital dredging, beach nourishment, and land reclamation. The main seaports in which DCI does business are Haldia and Paradip. The bulk of the dredging for the Sethusamudram Shipping Canal Project (SSCP) is also being carried out by DCI.
