Maharashtra has only two major ports i.e. Mumbai and Jawahar Lal Nehru Port (JNPA) and Mumbai Port are constrained in the evacuation of cargo for the past several decades due to the development of the city around it as well as due to limited depths in the harbour which allows only small ships to berth. The Arabian coast at Vadhvan towards the north of Mumbai is most suitable and ideal for the development of a new port where natural a depth of 20 Meters is available at a distance of about 4 ½ nautical miles. The location is about 10 Km from the National Railway grid and about 35-40 Km from NH8. The JNPA has proposed to develop Vadhvan Port along with the participation of Govt of Maharashtra and Maharashtra Maritime Board and an MOU were signed on 5th June 2015 to set up a new port at Vadhvan as a Major Port to be notified under the Indian Ports Act 1908 by Government of India. This port will be jointly implemented by JNPA and Maharashtra Maritime Board with a shareholding of 74% and 26% respectively. The port will be developed based on Landlord Port.
Benefits of the Project: Development of a new major port at the West coast of India, with a draft of 18 Meters, for handling all cargos.
The Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust (JNPA) at Navi Mumbai is the biggest container handling port in India, accounting for around 50% of the total containerized cargo volume, across the major ports of India. Commissioned on 26th May 1989, in three decades of its operations, JNPA has transformed from a bulk-cargo terminal to become the premier container port in the country. JNPA is connected to over 200 ports in the world and is ranked 33rd in the list of top 100 Container Ports globally.
Currently JNPA operates five container terminals: The Jawaharlal Nehru Port Container Terminal (JNPCT), the Nhava Sheva International Container Terminal (NSICT), the
Gateway Terminals India Pvt. Ltd. (GTIPL), Nhava Sheva International Gateway Terminal (NSIGT), and the newly commissioned Bharat Mumbai Container Terminals Private Limited (BMCT). The port also has a shallow Water Berth for general cargo and another Liquid Cargo Terminal which is managed by BPCL-IOCL consortium. The Fourth Container Terminal is being developed at a quay length of 2,000 metres adding an annual capacity of 4.8 million TEUs in two phases of which Phase-I is operational. JNPA has developed a multi-product SEZ in its owned free hold land of 277 hectares to attract international capital and global giants in manufacturing. In addition, the JNPA is developing 4 Dry Ports – Jalna, Wardha, Sangli and Nashik to promote industrialization of the hinterland.
JNPA has firmly anchored itself as the major catalyst for the trade and commerce in the country and is strongly committed to providing seamless services to the world that docks here.
VADHVAN OVERVIEW
The development of Vadhvan Port has been conceived under Sagarmala Programme – an initiative of the Government of India to augment Port Led Development and Development of Coast Lines to Contribute in India’s growth.
With the projected demand for containers to go up, it was necessary to locate a new port site which can cater to increasing need for port capacity and which also can be developed to handle the future deep draft ships.
To fulfill the need for handling deep draft ships, JNPA is set to develop a new world-class mega port with an all-weather deep draft facility at Vadhvan, near west coast of Maharashtra to serve increasing EXIM trade.
The new port has a potential to cater the vast hinterland region covering states of Maharashtra, Gujarat, Western parts of Madhya Pradesh and North Indian States.
WHY VADHVAN PORT?
The Central Govt and leading container port JNPort has begun the process of setting up this new port with an investment of Rs 65,544 crore. JNPA and Maharashtra Maritime Board (MMB) are development partners for Vadhvan Port, which will be developed on a landlord model under a special purpose vehicle (SPV) with JNPA as the lead partner.
Rs. 16,140 crore will be implemented by the SPV in constructing basic infrastructure like breakwaters, rail line/yard & road connectivity, power and waterline, internal roads and common amenities.
With highest investment in port sector of India, Vadhvan Port would be the third major port in Maharashtra, besides JNPA and Mumbai Port which will meet the demand and need of modern deep draft port.
JNPA is committed to make meaningful contributions to the lives of local people by ways of various initiatives in socio economic, skill development & educational sectors and will ensure a sustainable development.
