GLIMPSE OF NEW
MANGALORE PORT
In the 9th Plan document, the Govt. of India has considered the following traffic projections through its eleven major ports :
(Traffic in Million Tonnes)
Year Total Traffic Containers TEUs (in millions)
2001-02 423.94 38.66 3.22
M/s. RITES in their Report Vision 2020 has estimated the following traffic.
(Traffic in Million Tonnes)

2020-21 |
1273.15 |
208.10 |
17.30 |
An overall growth of about 8 to 9% is projected for the above period which means that matching facilities are to be planned and executed in the Ports to avoid congestion of traffic. A number of new ports are coming up in the private sector in the states of Gujarat and Maharashtra to cater to the growth in traffic, which means competition to the existing ports controlled by the Government which in turn leads to the fact that the existing ports have to wake up and plan and execute major improvement in the existing facilities and infrastructure.
The commodity wise break up of the traffic projections for NMPT envisaged by M/s. RITES in the VISION 2020 Report is as under :
