Financing
> Need for long term financing/debt options
> Current interest rates high thus increasing the overall cost and risk
> Viability gap funding scope to be broadened
11
Public Private Partnership in Ports
> Private investment attracted towards port projects with reasonable returns
and payback period
> Support infrastructure to be developed by the Government to ensure success
of the PPP model
> Government to undertake infrastructural development where payback is
commercially unviable but essential for overall development such as capital
channel dredging, breakwater, rail/road linkages etc
> PPP to be used as a tool to speed up infrastructure development and not as a
replacement of Government spending

Productivity and Efficiency
> Berth productivity has improved at some Indian ports from 20 moves per
hour in the 90’s to 70-80 moves per hour
