INTRODUCTION

Most of the goods transportation is done through sea rout, because it is cost effective,
easy and safe way of conveyance. Port development has vast scope of development with
increasing traffic & need for modern and well established structure for goods transportation.
Today port development is in the top priority among most growing sector for investment in
India and abroad. Govt. is more focused on port development with opening the door for
private players to investment in Govt. ports or building the individual ports.

• India is a maritime nation having a coast line of 7516.60 kms.

• It has 12 major ports – 6 on the west coast and 6 on the east coast and 187 non major
ports.

• India has an extensive coastline of 7,500 Km. EXIM Trade of India passes through
sea ports 95% by volume and 70% by value.

• Traffic at Major Ports increasing at the rate of 10% annually for last 5 years

• Port Development in India has been closely associated with the growth of the
Country’s economy.

• Rapid growth in port sector with private sector participation is taking place.

Model Concession Agreement (MCA) has been finalized by Cabinet, GOI.Under

the global liberalization, consumerism is increasing by leaps and bounds, at the same time
consumers are expecting best quality products at the best price. This has prompted
multinationals/manufacturers to find suitable site which will have the following
advantages:

• Availability of qualified technical work force

• Low capital cost

• Minimum logistic cost

• Hence multinationals predominantly changing over to consolidated manufacturing

facility over multiple manufacturing units to supply products globally.
BACKGROUND

• Major ports – development and traffic handle

• In 2006-07, the 12 major ports are reported to have handled a total traffic of 463.78
million tonnes, up by an estimated 9.51 per cent over that handled in 2005-06.
• In 2007-08, the 12 major ports are reported to have handled a total traffic of 519.15
million tonnes, up by an estimated 11.94 per cent over that handled in 2006-07.
• Capacity of Indian major and non-major ports – present and projected
• The major ports in India today have a capacity to handle 508 million tons per annum
and the actual traffic handled is 519.15 million tons in 2007-08.
• The non-major ports in India have a capacity of 228.3 million tonnes and the traffic
handled is about 220 million tonnes.
• The non-major ports are expected to add 610.85 million ton capacity by 2012 taking
the total non-major ports handling capacity to 839.16 million tonnes by march 2012,
ie; by the end of the 11th five year plan.
• The major ports are expected to add about 500 million tonne capacity by 2012.
• Both the major and non-major ports which have a combined capacity of 737 million
tonnes per year are expected to increase the capacity to 1500 million tonnes by 2012.
OBJECTIVE AND SCOPE OF WORK

• To define the scope of project related to port in India.

• To identify the growth rate of ports in India.
• To understand the public and private sector interest in port development.
• To know the issues and challenges faced in the development of major and non-major
ports.
• The PPTA's main objectives were to assist the Government in developing the
proposed industrial estate (IE) and dry port (DP).
• The other main aim was to help the Government in creating the required environment
by establishing an appropriate legal framework and transparent rules and regulations
on customs and industry promotion policies.
• To determine the feasibility of the industrial estate, the TA:
(i) Assessed the projected land and infrastructure needs of the industries to be
developed in the IE;
(ii) Designed master plan and layout for the IE;
(iii) Conducted demand assessments, projections, and willingness-to-pay surveys
for the infrastructure services;
(iv) Conducted an initial environmental examination and social analysis; and
(v) Carried out economic and financial analysis for the project.

• Equally, the dry port segment looked at similar aspects as IE, but additionally:
(i) Forecast international trade cargo traffic flows for 20 years;
(ii) Identified the required common infrastructure;
(iii) Prepared a layout plan and recommended feasible access road alignments;
(iv) Recommended customs clearance and documentation procedures.

• The assessment of the regulatory environment:

(i) Reviewed the policies and guidelines related to the trade and industry sectors
to identify critical constraints to private sector development;
(ii) Helped establish an appropriate legal framework and recommend rules and
regulations to support private sector growth,
(iii) Established management authorities for the operations and maintenance of IE
and DP and
(iv) Established clear and transparent procedures for private sector participation in
the operations of the two facilities.
METHODOLOGY

The thesis discovers the topics as introduction, history, planning & scheduling technique, its
application & way of implementation, all equipments with their application at site and their scope of
use in India, case study, etc.
The thesis will be prepared by using the print media, electronic media and personal
observation. There is lot of books, journals, magazines to be referred. We can access to the e-books,
journals, reports, surveys, corresponds to company employees through the electronic media. Other
way of personal observation is access to site where road construction is going on. We can also
consulting our faculty members.

COCLUSION

• Policy guidelines aim at moving the ports towards the landlord ports concept with the
provision of services being increasingly left to the private sector.
• There is no concerted move to speed up the privatisation of all port services.
• Adequate attention has not also been paid to strengthen the support infrastructure such as land
and rail connections and to streamline administrative and customs procedures including MIS.
• The way forward is for the Government of India to develop an integrated approach for the
commercialisation and privatisation of port services.
• Govt. should focus on planning & development of port regarding the demand & traffic at port
otherwise Much traffic on port will lead to delay in conveyance of goods.
• There is a need of better handling and maintenance of existing port is of upmost priority.
