Pandya Dr. M. V. Ramana Murthy Prof. Dr. P.S.N.

This is with regard to an application for consideration of the Proposed Revised Master Plan Development of Kattupalli Port, by Marine Infrastructure Developer Private Limited (MIDPL) at Kattupalli, Tiruvallur District, Tamil Nadu, which is to be considered in the 38th EAC Meeting (CRZ- Infrastructure 2 Projects), on February 6, 2019. It is required of Project Proponents to consider alternate sites, when presenting a proposal. This has been enshrined in the MoEF’s guideline for a Project ​ ​ Feasibility Report, which requires it to detail ‘alternate sites to be considered, and the basis for choosing the proposed site, particularly the environmental considerations gone into it should be highlighted’. For the project in question though, alternate sites have not been considered. In fact, the consultant concedes that ‘no other site selection criterion has been considered’ for the project, since it is a strategic location with an existing draft, reliable power supply and allows for multimodal connectivity, among other things [3.1].
