Ports and shipping ministry to execute 101 projects by 2024-25

Under PM Gati Shakti, the Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways, has recognised 101 projects for execution by 2024-25. The recognised projects cover many state-run ‘major ports’, which have recently got the freedom to decide the tariffs for several port-related services and the terms for private developers, due to the cancellation of the Tariff Authority for Major Ports (TAMP). The recognised projects are in addition to the 80-odd Sagarmala projects that are underway, and cover many waterways, Sarbananda Sonowal, Minister for Ports, Shipping and Waterways said at a CII session.
