Webinar on TIMINGS 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM, 12 Feb 2021

India is strategically located on a key world’s shipping route, the Indian Ocean region, which is host to one of the world’s most important trade crossing—connecting Far East with Europe. Nearly 50% of the world maritime trade, 50% of container traffic and 70% of trade in energy sails through the Indian Ocean region. 

India is the sixteenth largest maritime country in the world, with 12 major and 200 notified minor and intermediate ports. Indian Maritime Industry is an integral part of the country’s trade and commerce. It supports 95% of trade by volume and 70% by value.

There is a significant growth potential in this sector. Development of coastal shipping and inland waterways can bring down logistics cost from 18% to 12%. The government is focused on boosting the share of coastal and inland waterways in cargo transportation from the present 6% to 12%.

Shri Anil Devti identified many delays in clearances.

PORT MODERNIZATION


India has 12 Major Ports, administered by the Central Government, and around 200 notified Non-Major Ports, administered by the State Governments. In 2014-15, out of the 200 Non-Major Ports, 69 ports were reported to have handled cargo traffic.
(Source: Transport Research Wing, 2015)
The infrastructure sector, particularly the Maritime Sector, is expected to grow significantly with the increase in international and domestic trade volumes. Since about 95% of India's trade by volume is via the maritime route (Source : NTDPC), there is a continuous need to develop India's ports and trade related infrastructure to accelerate growth in the manufacturing industry and to aid the 'Make in India' initiative.

Traffic scenario at Indian ports
The total volume of traffic handled by Indian ports in FY2014–15 was 1052.1 million tons per annum (MTPA), of which 55.25% (581.3 MTPA) of total Traffic, was handled by Major Ports and the remaining 44.75% (470.9 MTPA) of total traffic by Non-Major Ports.

The overall compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of traffic at Indian Ports between FY2005–06 and FY2014–15 was 7.07%, with traffic at Major and Non-Major Ports growing at a CAGR of 3.58% and 13.94%, respectively.

Port Mechanization and Modernization
It is expected that by 2025, the ports will be required to handle a cargo of 2500 MTPA while the current capacity in India is 1500 MTPA. ~100 MTPA of new capacity can come from the modernization of existing ports. Recognizing the same, Indian ports have already embarked on a massive Port Mechanization and Modernization programme in order to become more efficient and remain at par with international benchmarks. Towards this endeavor, there are various investment opportunities to undertake mechanization projects on PPP basis.

Under Sagarmala, three themes have been identified for port modernization:

Mechanisation – Productivity at several berths is held back by the low capacity equipment used. These are mostly old and were designed for the target productivity levels needed at the time of purchase. Most of the old equipment are grossly insufficient to meet the current productivity requirements. In addition, several of these equipment are heavily derated due to lack of proper maintenance. Critical need of higher capacity equipment to replace existing old ones have been identified at several ports including Kandla, Haldia and Tuticorin. Twenty new mobile harbour cranes have been recommended across major ports. Detailed financial analysis reveals that these investments could be beneficial both for the port as well as the stakeholders. Different issues have been identified across the ports for evacuation issues and the solutions have been unique to each port.
Draft enhancement (Dredging) – The drafts at major ports have been historically low in comparison to required draft to match with advancements in size and shapes of the ships. Average draft ranges between 12 and 14 meters, peaking to 18 - 19 meters in some places. Globally, most ports have increased their drafts upto 23 meters to handle new generation container vessels with capacity of more than 15,000 TEUs and super tankers. In order to keep pace with accelerating growth in cargo and container traffic, Indian ports would also increase their drafts to handle supermax vessels.
New Terminal Development – Existing ports are limited by their current infrastructure to handle increased traffic expected to come to Indian shores (Both coastal and EXIM) in the next 10 years. There is a potential to increase the capacity at existing ports by building new terminals and berths. Coastal berth to handle food grains and fertilizers in Kandla is one such example.
Potential Projects
Mechanization

Improvement of gate processing (at Chennai, JNPT)
Improvement of rake turnaround time (in KDS)
Multiple advanced technology based solutions like RFID and OCR based gate processing, etc. have been recommended across the ports. Of these, implementation of several of initiatives is underway.
Draft enhancement (Dredging)

Increasing the draft at Ennore and Paradip from 16 to 18 m
New Terminal Development

New Port Development


It is expected that by 2025, the ports will be required to handle a cargo of 2500 MTPA while the current port capacity in India is 1500 MTPA. According to estimates, significant capacity expansion will have to come from new ports.

There are broadly three main levers that propel the need for building new ports:

Capacity Saturation – Ports such as JNPT, Paradip have limited capacity to expand and are saturated with traffic. Hence it makes sense to build new ports in the vicinity to cater to the increased traffic
Non-availability of Ports – There are few specific stretches along the coastline which do not have an operational port. In absence of the port at such locations, the cargo is forced to travel longer distances to use alternate ports. This adds both to the cost and time required for cargo handling. New ports built at these locations can significantly optimize cargo movement.
Strategic Locations – The southern tip of India is optimally located as it falls under the East-West trade route. However most of transshipment cargo from India is dependent on ports of Colombo and Singapore. There exists a potential for development of an International transshipment hub at the southern tip.
Potential Project
New port locations have been identified based on the cargo flow for key commodities and the projected traffic:

Greenfield major ports to be developed at Vadhavan (Maharashtra), Sagar Island (West Bengal), Paradip Satellite Port (Odhisha), Cuddalore/Sirkazhi (Tamil Nadu) and Machilipatnam/Vodarevu
International Container Transhipment hub at Enayam (Tamil Nadu) and Vizhinjam (Kerala)

Inland Waterways


Economic viability of a waterway to carry traffic as an alternative to rail and road depends on its length which should be a minimum 500 km and 250 km for both cases respectively. Apart from this, it should have a large hinterland coverage area and potential in order to generate enough traffic on routes.

National highways 1, 2, 4 and 5 can be developed to play an important role in transportation.

Key Initiatives
Development of NW5 - The significance of NW5 lies in its location close to Talcher-Paradip region which is abundant in resources and industries and therefore provide opportunities for evacuation of different commodities including thermal coal, coking coal and iron-ore. Financial considerations in terms of revenue and expenditure for both the barge owners and IWAI present a strong case for moving cargo on NW5 after relevant infrastructural improvements. A number of steps in terms of infrastructural projects are required to be undertaken to make the project feasible. These include dredging to ensure minimum draft of 2.5-3 m and ensuring channel width of 55-60 m. Other steps include building atleast 5 barrages or navigational locks and a barge jetty/terminal at Paradip, Talcher and Kalinganagar.
Development of NW4 - This waterway which connects the upcoming capital of Amaravati to the coastal parts of the state is extremely important for the development of new industrial hinterlands proposed under the various nodes of Visakhapatnam Chennai Industrial Corridor. The stretch will have a potential to transport 3-5 MTPA of bulk commodities by 2020.
Development of NW2 - This waterway, stretching for a distance of 891 km from Dhubri to Sadiya, has immense potential to cater to the traffic in the north eastern region of the country. Basic commodities like foodgrains, fertilizers, etc. can be transported through the route.
Development of NW1 - With a length of 1620 km, NW1 is the longest waterway in India. It is a stretch of the Ganga-Bhagirathi-Hoogly river system from Allahabad to Haldia. Key opportunities lie in 11 major power plants being located on the banks of NW1 with a cumulative capacity of 12,000 MW as well as multiple chemical and food exporters in UP and West Bengal.
