Sagarmala Project

What is Sagarmala Project?

Sagarmala project is a strategic and customer-oriented initiative
of the Government of India to modernize India's Ports so that portled development can be augmented and coastlines can be
developed to contribute in India's growth. It looks towards
"transforming the existing Ports into modern world class Ports and
integrate the development of the Ports, the Industrial clusters and
hinterland and efficient evacuation systems through road, rail,
inland and coastal waterways resulting in Ports becoming the
drivers of economic activity in coastal area.
Vision Of Sagarmala Project :-

fficient evacuation network (Example links)

Background
India has immense natural maritime advantage, with a 7,500 Km
coastline covering 13 states and union territories, strategic location on
key international trade routes and 14,500 km of navigable and potential
navigable waterways.
The siting and master planning of industrial cluster and zones (often with
high EXIM Traffic) does not adequately take into account proximity to
ports. The port land itself is inadequately utilised for setting up industries
and manufacturing. Major ports of have 2.71 lakh acre of land, of which
2.35 lakh acre is underutilised. Raw material often travels a large
distance from coastal areas to the hinterland and then finished products
travel back from the hinterland to the coast of exports. Due to this
competitiveness of Indian Ports as compared to other countries is less.
Maritime logistics is an important component of Indian economy,
accounting for 90% of EXIM trade by volume and 72% of EXIM trade by
value. It is expected that coastal shipping volume could grow from
around 90 million tonnes at present to around 400 million tonnes by 2025

Sagarmala could mobilise investment of about INR 4 Lakh cr in

Indian Infrastructure sector over next ten years

Port Development and

Modernization
India has 12 major ports and approximately 200 non-major ports
administrated by central and state government respectively.
As per the Sagarmala Programme, cargo handling capacity of Indian ports
need to be increased from 1500 MMTPA to 2500 MMTPA by 2025 through
modernization of existing ports and development of new ports.
Govt. has identified 36 Port development projects of the value USD 10951.5
million under Sagarmala project. Some of the major works are as below : Development of Outer Harbour at Cochin Port, Paradip Port and Chidambaranar Port
It will include various types up work like setting up Ultra Mega Power plant,
Augment existing cargo handling facility etc.
LNG terminals at New Mangalore Port and Kakinada port
Green Field Port at Colachel (Enayam) (New port for container transhipment)
Container terminals at Kandla Port and Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust
Development of coal terminal at Chennai port
Setting up of various kind of jetties with backup facility at Haldia dock 2 and
mormugao port

Port Development and

Modernization
Govt. has identified 32 Port modernization projects
of the value USD 1476.33 million under Sagarmala
project. Some of the major works are as below : Mechanisation of barge jetties
Expansion works by Jawaharlal Nehru Port
Dredging works at Kamarajar Port Limited and V.O.
Chidambaranar Port
Dredging work at Gujrat maritime Board
Upgradation of coal jetty at V.O. Chidambaranar Port

6-8 new ports are also proposed to be developed

Prominent ports of India

6-8 potential new ports based on three themes have

been identified that could add upto 400 MTPA

Port Connectivity
Port connectivity is the second pillar for port led
development. It focuses on optimal mode of evacuation
to/from ports of both EXIM and domestic cargo.
It consists of
Inland Shipping (IWAI) There lies ample of opportunity in this
sector as Augmentation work for NW1 has already stated and will
be followed by NW2, NW 3, NW 4 and NW 5. Further New 106
National waterways have been declared and studies are being
done for the development
Pipelines Pipelines are an effective means of transporting liquid
cargo to and from ports. As the govt. plans to increase refineries
capacity new projects for pipeline expansion will be required to
meet the demand
Road
Intermodal transportation network of rail

Inland Connectivity Projects

Govt. has identified 27 projects for Inland
connectivity which have been given to Inland
Water Authority of India of the value USD 1148.37
million under Sagarmala project. Some of the
major works are as below : Development of IWT Terminals
Development of RO-RO terminals at Brahmaputra NW 2
Construction of multimodal terminals at Ghazipur,
Haldia, Patna and Kalyani
Construction of Jetties in Kolkata.
Augmentation of capacity on National Waterway 1

Port-linked industrialization
Port-linked industrialization is the third pillar of the port-led
development model. A comprehensive plan for port linked
industrialization has been proposed, which combines the
growth potential of specific industries that have port linkages
with the competitive location of each industry.
The port-led industrialization programme will be delivered
through Coastal Economic Zones (CEZ), which will be the focal
point for development along Indias Coastline. 14 CEZ have
been identified along with the coastline of the country.
27 potential coastal industrial clusters have been identified
across three sectors, namely Energy, Material and Discrete
Manufacturing.

Proposed coastal Economic Zones

Coastal Community
Development
Development of coastal communities through Marine sector
related activities like fisheries, maritime tourism and
corresponding skill development is an essential objective of
Sagarmala programme. Development of cruise tourism and
lighthouse tourism are other activities which are being
actively considered under Sagarmala.
A Community Development Fund (CDF) is being created to
fund projects and activities related to coastal community
development under Sagarmala. The CDF will fund projects
related to value additionin fisheries, aquaculture, cold chain
development, skill development, local tourism and recreation
facilities, etc. which would be benefical to the livelihoods of
the coastal communities.

Project Implementation Mechanism

under Sagarmala
Implementation of these projects will be taken up
by relevant ports, Central Line Ministries, State
Governments and State Maritime Boards through
Private sector or PPP route , wherever feasible.
Sagarmala Development Company (SDC) is being
incorporated to assist, the Central/ State/ PortLevel SPVs, with equity support for
implementation of these projects and to provide
funding support to residual projects

Opportunities
The Sagarmala project focuses on various activities related to port development which
will include enhancement of port capacity to handle more cargo at the same time. For
the purpose of enhancement, the works like installation of new hydro mechanical
equipment at ports, cranes, building of new terminals etc. will be tendered by
respective ports from time to time.
The national perspective plan prepared under Sagarmala project has also identified
around 75 connectivity projects including 10 express ways, 7 Industrial corridors, 4
pipelines and more than 50 last mile connectivity projects. The objective of the
government is to boost the share of coastal and inland waterways in cargo
transportation from present 6% to 10 %.
In addition to above, The Ministry of Shipping (MoS) has undertaken an initiative to
implement utility-scale Solar Photovoltaic Power Plant projects at various major ports
across the country. The Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) has been appointed as
the overall project management consultant for these projects. An MoU has been
signed in this regard between SECI and the Indian Ports Association (IPA), on behalf of
the individual port trusts, to implement the solar energy projects. As part of this
activity, installation of grid connected solar power plants in the following ports is
underway. In addition, installation of rooftop solar power projects at various ports is
also undertaken and the related processes has been started. The status is enclosed in
the next slide for reference purpose
