DPA Kandla to become 390 MTPA capacity-port by 2030: Chairman
Cont’d. from Pg. 3
“ We h a v e a l r e a d y awarded the Tuna Tekra Container Terminal to DP World which is a
2 1 9 T E U f a c i l i t y
This facility is already under construction and will be coming up by March 2027. Alongside this facility is a multipurpose cargo berth with 18.3 MTPA at Tuna Tekra opened up for PPP There were some issues with the restructuring of the project and there was a demand to make it more economically viable. That restructuring has been done and we are going in for tendering of this facility which is a Rs. 1200-1300 crore project,” Singh added.
Going forward, Kandla plans to open up three new jetties for private players. “We are going to open up oil jetties 9, 10 and 11. These will be three new oil jetties which will be coming up near oil jetty number 8. They will add around 12 MTPA of capacity to the existing liquid cargo capacity,” the Chairman said.
In addition to the oil jetties, DPA is also examining if three more cargo jetties could be offered to private players “Then we have cargo jetties 14, 15 and 16 We are reviewing if these jetties can also be opened up for PPP We are studying and examining the model We will be adding around 125 MTPA of capacity by 2030 to the existing capacity of 263 MTPA. So by 2030 we expect the port capacity to be 390 MTPA,” Singh remarked.
PPP-mode is not new for Kandla. In March 2023, the project to develop Berth number 13 at Kandla at
cost of Rs. 168
under the PPP model, while Berth number 11 and 12 are already being operated by JM Baxi.
Deendayal Port Authority currently operates 24 jetties. Of these 16 are cargo jetties that handle dry bulk and break-bulk cargo and the other 8 are oil jetties. DPA also has a bulk terminal at Tuna Tekra
and the Vadinar facility that handles crude and POL products.
In order to improve the day-to-day performance of the port, DPA has also held meetings with shipping lines and other stakeholders to iron out the “procedural bottlenecks” to improve the evacuation of cargo and access to the port “This has already helped in improving throughput of the port by almost 10 percent compared to last year. This has helped improve the trajectory of cargo volumes during the last two months significantly,” Singh added

'India to Build World's Biggest Port': Shipping Minister Sarbananda Sonowal
NEW DELHI: At the India Economic Summit 2024, Union Shipping Minister Sarbananda Sonowal announced plans for India to develop the world’s largest port, marking a historic transformation in India’s port and shipping industry under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi .
The Union Minsiter Sonowal highlighted the sector ’s past challenges. "Water is essential to human and national development," he stated.
“In the past, this sector was neglected; we were ‘sea blind.’ But under PM Modi’s leadership, the waterways and ports sector is now thriving with new principles and programs”, he added.
“A key part of this transformation is the Sagarmala Program, a flagship initiative that has driven rapid growth across the country’s coasts”, he shared.
"To develop our projects, we are collaborating with private players and coastal states," Sonowal said, noting that projects from Gujarat to Bengal have succeeded due to modernization and digitization.
India's Growth in the Shipbuilding Industry
This progress is evident in global metrics. Sonowal cited a recent World Bank performance index report, which showed India’s ranking i m p r o v i n g s i g n i f i c a n t l y, w i t h
container turnaround times reduced from 44 hours to 22 hours. "Our growth is exemplary," he added.
Addressing India’s current share of global container traffic at just 2.4%, Sonowal emphasized efforts to i n c r e a s e d o m e s t i c c o n t a i n e r production to meet demand. “In the coming days, our country will begin producing containers locally,” he assured, adding that in the next 25 years, India aims to rank among the world’s top 10 maritime nations.
Sonowal also shared a bold vision for India's shipbuilding industry, targeting a spot among the top five global players in the next decade. He mentioned that India will begin constructing ports in Sri Lanka and further noted India’s big investments in its shipping industry "By 2047, we plan an investment of 80 lakh crore in the ship industry,” he stated, affirming that “India is about to grow in all maritime sectors."
"We are building a network to h a n d l e 3 0 0 m e t r i c t o n n e s o f containers annually,” he said, adding that this will give the Indian economy a significant boost.
He also shared that collaborations with countries like Iran and Russia are paving the way for increased trade and connectivity
On the volatile situation in Myanmar and Bangladesh he said, "With the Indo-Myanmar Friendship Port and plans for additional ports in
Sri Lanka, India is strengthening its position in regional and global maritime networks,” he said. He affirmed that both the countries are committed to honor the ties.
Sonowal emphasized that ports, shipping, and waterways are creating job opportunities across India "From the grassroots level to the top, this ministry plays a key role in supporting India’sfast-growingeconomy,”hesaid When asked about development in the Northeast, Sonowal discussed new initiatives to support trade along the Brahmaputra River, which includes terminals for cargo and crew "This terminal will benefit tourism and provide infrastructure opportunities. The Northeast now has the best opportunity for growth,” he asserted, crediting PM Modi’s commitment to development in the region.
“ N o w o c e a n i s a b l e s s i n g , investment in water will now bring monetary benefits The number of cruises is also increasing. PM Modi has said given special attention to northeast, now the region has road connectivity, railway connections and other developments", he said.
He concluded by reiterating his commitment to India’s maritime progress. "We must prove to the world that India can thrive through its water ways We must keep our water ways clean, and we are dedicated to this vision for our nation."
India may cut import taxes if desi companies are not hurt, says FM Sitharaman
NEW DELHI: India’s Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has said the country could consider easing some import taxes, as long as these changes in duties do not harm domestic businesses. Her comments suggest a possible softening of India’s trade policies, following remarks by US president-elect Donald Trump, who called India the “biggest charger” of tariffs.
Lifting
“It is possible to explain every tariff we have levied,” Bloomberg cited Sitharaman saying during an event in New Delhi. Sitharaman said she has “responsibility” to protect Indian companies. Sitharaman said the government can “lift tariffs” on imports, provided it does not hinder the nation’s manufacturing capability “I have to balance the two,” she said. Her statement comes after Trump
promised reciprocal actions against countries like India for imposing high import taxes on US goods.
The US has become India’s top trade partner, with two-way trade reaching $119.7 billion in the last fiscal year—a rise of over one-third in five years. Meanwhile, the US trade deficit with India has been widening, reflecting India’s export strength even in the face of restrictive tariffs.
rice export curbs to help push Agri Shipments over USD 50 bn in FY25: Ofcial
NEW DELHI: The country's agri exports are expected to cross USD 50 billion in 2024-25 on account of healthy demand and lifting on curbs on non-basmati rice, an official said on Tuesday. The official said export curbs on rice, wheat, and sugar impact agri exports to the tune of about USD 6-7 billion. "But now the curbs have been removed on rice,
we expect that the agri exports will cross USD 50 billion. So far the trend is good, though the growth rate is not positive but as now rice is opened, by December-end, we will be in the positive zone," the official added.
Rice exports are likely to reach 17-18 million tonnes this fiscal year as against 14-15 million tonnes last year
"It will give a big boost to exports,"
the official said, adding that basmati shipments may touch 5.5 million tonnes, while parboiled could be around 7-8 million tonnes and over 4 million tonnes of non-basmati rice
The main commodities, which are registering healthy growth included fruits, vegetables, meat and its products, beverages, and food processing.

Merchandise Exports on track for modest rebound, projected to reach $107.5 Billion in Q3: Export-Import Bank of India
MUMBAI: India’s merchandise exports are expected to see a 1.85% year-on-year increase, reaching $107.5 billion in the third quarter of FY25 (October-December), as projected by Export-Import Bank of India. This is a rise from $104.61 billion during the same period last year
For non-oil exports, ExportImport Bank of India forecasts a 7.39% year-on-year growth, reaching $91.7 billion. Exports excluding oil, gems, and jewellery are projected at $82.7 billion, reflecting a year-on-year increase of 7.8%.
This anticipated growth signals a modest yet steady rebound for India’s merchandise exports amid global economic uncertainties. The rise is attributed to India’s strong economic fundamentals and sustained demand
Additionally, potential easing in global monetary policies could create a more favorable environment, further supporting export growth.
However, Export-Import Bank of India cautions that external risks persist, including uncertainties in advanced and emerging economies, rising geo-economic fragmentation, crises in the Middle East and West Asia, potential protectionist policies, and ongoing supply chain disruptions
The positive momentum in total merchandise, non-oil, and non-oil, non-gems, and jewellery exports is expected to extend into Q4 FY25, according to Export-Import Bank of India.
“The export forecast for this
quarter is only slightly higher than last year’s, but when looked at on a monthly basis, it’s clear that real growth is not happening,” said Pronab Sen, an Economist and Former Chief Statistician of the Country.
There’s been no significant increase; the growth we’re seeing is far below expectations For an economy aiming for a 7% growth rate, we should ideally see exports growing by 14-16%. However, export growth isn’t aligning with this target,” said Sen “While various factors are impacting exports, a global economic slowdown isn’t one of them the global economy is, in fact, relatively stable. We need to examine more closely why our exports are struggling to gain momentum.”
"India is now Russia's second-largest economic partner," says Denis Manturov at trade session
NEW DELHI: Russia's First Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov who is in presently on a visit to India highlighted the significant progress in bilateral trade between the two countries while emphasising the potential for further growth.
At the 25th Session of the IndiaR u s s i a I n t e r g o v e r n m e n t a l Commission on Trade, Economic, Scientific, Technical, and Cultural Cooperation held in the national capital, Manturov stressed the i m p o r t a n c e o f e n h a n c i n g collaboration through large-scale congress and exhibition events in
both countries, which he said would "allow to rhythmically expand the growth rates of trade turnover in accordance to fashion."
Pointing to the impressive trajector y of trade relations, Manturov said, "Here I would like to p o i n t o u t t h e s t a b l e p o s i t i v e dynamics, and over the last five years, trade turnover of our country has grown more than fivefold. India is now the second country among all the foreign economic partners of Russia."
He noted that this positive trend has continued in 2024, with a nine per cent increase in trade turnover in the first eightmonthscomparedtolastyear
M
diversification of trade between the two countries, citing traditional exports of energy sources and mineral fertilisers alongside the growing food exports, particularly sunflower and soybean oil On the other hand, he noted Russia's i m p o r t s f r o m I n d i a i n c l u d e industrial equipment, components, p h a r m a c e u t i c a l d r u g s , a n d substances He further mentioned p

Infra, Transport sector leaders expect growth in earnings, headcount in next 3 years: KPMG
MUMBAI: India is likely to see the implementation of one of the largest infrastructure programmes in the 2 1 s t c e n t u r y a m o n g s t l a r g e economies and creating fiscal sources of capital would be key to this initiative, according to a KPMG report. The report titled ‘KPMG 2024 Infrastructure and Transport CEO Outlook’ further said a survey of 120 sector leaders from across the world found that CEOs in the infrastructure and transportation sector anticipate business growth over the next three years, in terms of earnings and headcount.

they can adapt their strategy
More than half of CEOs believe that a global failure on climatechange adaptation will have a real short-to medium term impact on their growth, it added.
With confidence and trust in governments declining around the world, the report said 62 per cent of respondents believe the public is looking to businesses to fill the void on societal challenges Seventy-one per cent also state that they are willing to divest a profitable part of the business if it was damaging their organization’s reputation, it said.
Manish Aggarwal, Partner, CoHead – Deal Advisory, and Head –Infrastructure, Disinvestments, and Special Situations Group, KPMG

Port of Antwerp-Bruges strengthens relations with India
ANTWERP: Port of AntwerpBr uges is set to kick off a r o a d s h o w i n I n d i a f r o m
November 18 to 22, making stops in three major cities (New Delhi, Ahmedabad and Mumbai) This initiative aims to deepen the port’s relationship with one of its vital trading partners and the world’s fastest-growing economy The port authority is joined by seven companies from the port community of Antwerp and Bruges, underscoring the significant interest the Indian market holds.
Port of Antwerp-Bruges Undertakes Strategic Roadshow to India
Port of Antwerp-Bruges, with a delegation led by Vice President Luc Arnouts, is organizing a high impact roadshow to India in collaboration with Flanders Investment & Trade.
Scheduled stops include three major cities: New Delhi, Ahmedabad, and Mumbai, each representing unique economic hubs within India. This initiative will provide opportunities for engaging with key industry leaders, site visits to major Indian conglomerates, and thought-provoking panel discussions and roundtables. Tailored B2B meetings and networking events, coordinated with local chambers of commerce, aim to foster meaningful connections and explore avenues for collaboration in sectors essential to both regions. Why India is a strategic partner for Port of AntwerpBruges
As one of the largest ports in Europe, Port of AntwerpBruges believes India will continue to grow as the “factory of the world”. This makes it a pivotal trading partner for the port. That is supported by the numbers, as India's volumes through Port of Antwerp-Bruges increased by over 10% this year alone.
Diversifying suppliers is a strategic imperative for Port of Antwerp-Bruges. This need was underscored by the COVID-19 pandemic. As global businesses seek alternatives to traditional manufacturing hubs such as China, India presents a promising, stable option.
