The ports’ infrastructure market in India is estimated to expand at a CAGR of over 9% during 2016-2025, on the basis of heavy infrastructure funding at ports and related infrastructures such as connecting roads, railways, and Coastal Economic Zones.
Furthermore, the National Perspective Plan of Government of India envisioned speculation in the investment of over USD10 billion for the next 5 years as well as focused at the development of ports. This investment inflow is forecasted to lessen demand and supply gap at ports in India in the near future.
The Government started the progressive Sagarmala Programme in March 2017, with an aim to desire the port-led development and growth of logistics-intensive industries. $123 bn would be invested across 415 projects under the Sagarmala Programme.
The National Perspective Plan for Sagarmala is expected to start with six new mega ports being developed in the country. Ports in India handle around 95 percent of the international trade volume of the country. This will lead to an increase in trade activities and private participation in port infrastructure is set to support port infrastructure activity in India.
Implementation of the Sagarmala dynamism by the Government of India grants investment opportunities for ports and related infrastructural development in order to boost maritime trade in India.
Besides this, modernization and expansion of ports by private international companies are anticipated to fuel growth in the marine transport sector in India, during the forecast period. Additionally, several Coastal Economic Zones (CEZs) projects are underway to concentrate manufacturing clusters near major ports and this is expected to surge demand for maritime trade in the country during 2016-2025.
The Sagarmala Programme was able to successfully complete 143 projects, while 190 projects worth US$ 28.2 Bn have been awarded and are under implementation. 21The average turnaround time was 59.51 hours during 2018-19.22The average output per ship berth day was 16,541 in 2018-19.23The development of the 13th major port has been approved at Wadhwan in Maharashtra.
