PORTS IN INDIA
Mission
z The year 2015-16 was a challenging one for the Indian port sector, with a year-on-year growth of only 1.9 per cent in traffic as
compared to 8 per cent in 2014-15. Major ports grew by 4.3 per cent, almost similar to the previous year. Non-major ports were
relatively more impacted, registering a decline of 1 per cent compared to a year-on-year growth of 13 per cent in the previous year.
The performance was largely affected by falling iron ore volumes as well as declining growth in coal traffic.
z In terms of infrastructure, on the other hand, major ports saw a record capacity addition of 94 million tonnes (mt) in 2015-16. The
foundation stone was laid for two much-awaited projects - the fourth container terminal at the Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust and the
Vizhinjam port project.
z The governments flagship programme, Sagarmala, moved a step forward from the concept stage, with the release of the National
Perspective Plan in April 2016. Subsequently, in September 2016, Sagarmala Development Company was incorporated.
z The focus is not only on capacity creation. Equal emphasis is being laid on mechanising port operations, developing smart and
sustainable ports, providing adequate connectivity and deeper draft levels, developing coastal and inland water transport, and
promoting ease of doing business as part of the Sagarmala programme.
z The government is planning to increase the capacity to over 3,000 mt by 2025, with much of it coming from expansion at non-major
ports and development of new ports. Sagarmala envisages an investment of Rs 4 trillion in over 150 projects. To meet this
investment requirement, new sources of finance will have to be explored.
z On the modernisation and mechanisation front, the government plans to promote the use of electronic channels for information
exchange, establish a single-window clearance system, install container scanners, implement radio frequency identification and gate
automation, etc. Roll-on roll-off (ro-ro), liquefied natural gas and bunkering terminals, smart port cities, and special economic zones
are emerging as new areas of growth. There is also a greater focus on developing smarter, greener and sustainable ports.
z That said, to promote sector growth, several issues need to be addressed. The performance of major ports has often been negatively
affected by the need for approvals for investment and other managerial decisions by the central government and tariff regulation by the
Tariff Authority of Major Ports. They also need deeper draughts, better connectivity, more mechanisation and better customer service.
z Non-major ports, especially private ones, on the other hand, have fared well due to superior efficiency levels, deeper draughts,
diversified portfolios, etc. However, progress on the development of greenfield ports remains tardy due to land acquisition and
clearance issues.
z The government has, no doubt, been proactive and has announced a slew of initiatives to solve some of the long-pending issues of the
industry. These include the formulation of the Central Ports Authorities Bill to give more autonomy to major ports, the removal of 13
archaic rules under the Merchant Shipping Act, 1958, the setting up of a dedicated institution, namely Indian Port Rail Corporation
Limited, for port-rail connectivity projects, the introduction of new dredging guidelines, relaxation of the cabotage law, declaration of
106 new national waterways, among others. It is also in the process of reviewing the model concession agreement (MCA).
z Activity in the sector will always be correlated with global seaborne trade. A supportive policy framework can help mitigate the impact
of external pressures to some extent. However, revival of global and domestic economic activity will be crucial for sector growth.
z The mission of this conference is to provide an update on the key trends and developments in the sector, examine recent policy
initiatives, highlight the opportunities in the sector and discuss the key issues and concerns. It will also showcase noteworthy
initiatives/projects and the most promising technologies/solutions.
