The Indian government’s ambitious roadmap Maritime India Vision 2030 comprises 963 projects across 12 ports, at an estimated total cost of Rs 677.2bn ($8.9bn), and essentially involves the addition of terminal capacity, equipment upgrades, mechanisation, connectivity improvements and digital solutions. Of these schemes, 208, worth Rs 44bn, were completed last year, while 504, with a cost outlay of Rs 482.6bn, are at various stages of development, according to a new government port review presentation. Among the 12 landlord ports, Kolkata (recently renamed Syama Prasad Mookerjee Port) has 143 projects lined up and Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust (Nhava Sheva) ids moving ahead with 131 projects. To counter these competitive challenges, the government recently put in place legislation to transform major port trusts into a corporate style of management, with greater autonomy commercially and operationally.
