Mumbai: An investment plan totaling to Rs2,000 crore has been outlined by the Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust to set up a marine terminal. Besides, the Port Trust also plans to enhance the capacity of its already existing twin berth liquid cargo terminals to 30 MTPA. The twin terminals of BPCL and Indian Oil Corporation presently at JNPT have a capacity of 5.5 MTPA.
The new marine terminal is expected to meet the demands for liquid cargoes like oil, acids and cleaning compounds. L&T Ramboll is involved in the designing and project management consultancy service of the project. The company has already submitted the detailed project report draft to the Port Trust.
JNPT had earlier invited bids for developing a container terminal worth Rs9,000 crore. Last week, JNPT inked a concession agreement with the subsidiary Dubai based DP World to develop a standalone container handling facility.
