Setting aside allegations made by the Mormugao Port and Railway Workers Union over ill-effects of deepening the port channel, the deepening of Port channel (draft) by 19.80 m will be adopted by all major ports in the country. The estimated cost of the project is around Rs 301 crore and the work will be taken up by private operators. The amount incurred will be paid back to private operators with an interest in the next 12 years.
