Container Terminals at Mumbai
New Delhi: July 28, 2003

There are, at present, two container terminals at Jawaharlal Nehru Port, Navi Mumbai. One container terminal is managed and operated by the Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust (JNPT) itself and the other one is managed and operated by a private company, namely, Nhava Sheva International Container Terminal Private Limited (NSICT) controlled by P&O Australia Ports Pvt. Limited on Build, Operate and Transfer (BOT) basis under a License Agreement with the JNPT. This information was given by Shri Dilipkumar Mansukhlal Gandhi, Minister of State in the Ministry of Shipping in a written reply to Smt. Bimba Raikar in Rajya Sabha today. He said that it has been decided to redevelop the existing Bulk Terminal at Jawaharlal Nehru Port as a Container Terminal on BOT basis and in response to the 'Request for Qualification' notice issued by JNPT for this project 12 parties have submitted their applications out of which 10 parties have been short-listed for participation in the bids.

The Minister further stated that the existing private Container Terminal Operator at JNP i.e. Nhava Sheva International Container Terminal Private Limited, its parent company and any other company belonging to its group have been excluded from the bidding process for the above project in the interest of promoting intra-port competition and preventing private monopoly/concentration of power in a single private party. In reply to a question by the Member about the efficiency and operational economy of P&O terminal at Mumbai, the Minster said that in the absence of authentic, reliable and verifiable common parameters which could form the basis for measurement of comparative efficiency and operational economy, any comparison, in absolute terms, between different terminals will not be tenable.
