1 Summary
Gujarat Maritime Board (GMB) had developed Pindara port in around 1950. GMB had developed small wharf, road, stacking ground etc. as per the basic requirements. Accordingly to the statistics available, 3166 tons of Bauxite was exported in the year 1956-57 and 9940 tons were exported to Kerala and UK in the year 1968-79. Since then due to the development of Okha port on this coast line, the development of Pindara port got neglected. However, the port was handling a limited quantity of Bauxite with the help of country boats or small barges, mother ship waiting at the anchorage and was fetching a small amount of revenue to GMB. The Pindara port is de-functioning for over the last 30 years, leaving the original wharf & approached road to wharf road.
Gujarat Maritime Board vide letter no. GMB/pvt-ii/4(1)/15/61/3613 dated 18th June 2015, based on the GMB resolution no. 3047 passed in its 241st meeting held on 28th may,2015, hereby grants M/s. Bombay Mineral Limited, the licensee the right and authority for utilisation by restoration/construct of mechanised conveying system for shipment of Bauxite & other cargo to convey/handle/transport of Bauxite mineral cargo or any other cargo belongs to M/s BML or its associates into ship/barges nominated by the licensee or its associates as per the terms and conditions prevailing under rules and regulations of Gujarat Maritime Board at Pindhara Jetty-GMB.
M/s. Bombay Minerals Limited (BML) is one of the leading Bauxite mining companies from Devbhoomi Dwarka (Jamnagar), District Gujarat. It is engaged in the mining of Bauxite and Value Added products of Bauxite i.e. manufacturing of Calcined Bauxite. This project is for Restoration and Expansion of GMB Pindara Jetty and Allied Facilities for Handling of Mineral Cargo of M/s. Bombay Minerals Limited, Khambhalia (Gujarat). Project requires total area of 4.49 ha of which includes Marine Sanctuary area of 0.81 ha – Pindara Jetty area & its Eco-Sensitive Zone area of 3.68 ha.

2 Introduction 2.1 Company profile
Gujarat Maritime Board (GMB) has established itself as maritime leader in port development, privatisation and specialised cargo handling in India. It is also the first maritime board of the country which was created up in 1982 with a vision “to enhance and harness ports and international trade as vehicles for economic development”.
With foresighted thinking and strategically located longest coastline of 1600 kms, GMB charted a different and unexplored route of port development in 1980s. This was the era when major ports enjoyed monopoly over sea freight, with very little or no port capacity with State Governments.
From meagre 3% in 1982-83, traffic at GMB ports have consistently increased and now (2014-15) non major ports of Gujarat handle about 32% of total national traffic. During the same period, share of major ports has decreased from 94% in 1982 to 55% in 2015, whereas Gujarat’s share accounts for 71.5% of traffic for non-major ports of India in 2014-15.
Over the next three decades, GMB institutionalised the concept of integrated port-led development of its minor ports, supported by last mile rail/road connectivity. This was effectively implemented by bringing right private partners through several pioneering models of privatization such as privatizing port services, private jetties, joint venture ports and Greenfield ports etc. GMB has effectively implemented a unique business model, which has shown the pathway to growth and has successfully placed the non-major ports of Gujarat as benchmark for other states to follow.
M/s. Bombay Minerals Limited (BML) is one of the leading Bauxite mining companies from Devbhoomi Dwarka (Jamnagar), District Gujarat. It is engaged in the mining of Bauxite and Value Added products of Bauxite i.e. manufacturing of Calcined Bauxite.
It has started calcination of bauxite with one kiln in October, 1983 and slowly gradually increased it capacity to 85,000 mt per annum. BML is also one of the leading mining companies and owning 1,200 hectares of bauxite mining leases in Devbhoomi Dwarka, Gujarat, which is the raw material for Calcined Bauxite.
Apart from the manufacturing of Calcined Bauxite, BML is one of leading exporters of bauxite from Gujarat. It has been exporting 2 million ton of bauxite since last two years. Earlier BML used to sell bauxite in local market and later on started exporting it directly.

RESTORATION & EXPANSION OF GMB PINDARA JETTY & ALLIED FACILITIES FOR BOMBAY MINERALS LIMITED HANDLING OF MINERAL CARGO PRE-FEASIBILITY REPORT
BML is in bauxite mining since 1953 and over a period of time has gained considerable expertise in mining and in creating value addition to bauxite like Calcined Bauxite, Castables, Mullite, Chamotte, Calcined Kaolin, etc., which is called refractory raw material, which is being used to produce refractory bricks, brown fused alumina and other fused products.
Today BML is one of the leading, trusted refractory raw material suppliers in Indian market as well as in international market. It has a most modern, state-of-the-art R & D facility. In-house R&D facility is helping in development of products according to need of customers customised products. This has resulted into optimum utilization of minerals.
2.2 The project background & justification
Pindara jetty of Gujarat Maritime Board was in operation handling mineral cargo since 1950 read from the Central Board of Revenue direction issued for necessary amendments in its notification no 117 of 9th September 1950 under the provisions of section 53 of Sea Customs Act 1878 prescribing the schedule of Pindara, substantiating further with the 18th July 1963 (Annexure A) notification. Proposed site for developing Pindara jetty with installation of conveyor belt system is located at Pindara jetty, which is within the port limits declared notified by Gujarat Maritime Board. Pindara notified port limit bordering the other port limits of Salaiya in the east to Okha port limit in the west, to Pindara – Virpur village limits in the south and to 12 fathom in the north, of the entire port limit only a small portion of jetty area of 0.81 hectares will be used which falls within the Marine Sanctuary and 3.68 hectares in Eco Sensitive Zone, which includes the existing roads leading to the Pindara jetty. However, Pindara jetty has been notified on 18th July 1963 much earlier than notification of Marine Sanctuary notification in 1982 and Eco Sensitive Zone of 1km on 22nd August 2013 (Annexure B).
The Gujarat Government gazette, Public Works Department, vide its notification, Ahmedabad, 8th July 1963, no.

North: Northern limit is along 10 fantom contour between point’s of intersection of eastern and western limits. Justification: Pindara jetty of Gujarat Maritime Board was in operation handling mineral cargo since 1950. Proposed site for developing Pindara jetty with installation of conveyor belt system is located at Pindara jetty, which is within the port limits declared notified by Gujarat Maritime Board. Pindara notified port limit bordering the other port limits of Salaiya in the east to Okha port limit in the west, to Pindara – Virpur village limits in the south and to 12 fathom in the north, of the entire port limit only a small portion of jetty area of 0.81 hectares will be used which falls within the Marine Sanctuary and 3.68 hectares in Eco Sensitive Zone, which includes the existing roads leading to the Pindara jetty. However, Pindara jetty has been notified on 18th July 1963 much earlier than notification of Marine Sanctuary notification in 1982 and Eco Sensitive Zone of 1km on 22nd August 2013.
Further, the Pindara jetty location is in the stable coastal zone, as per the status of Shoreline Accretion and Erosion Report of Institute of Ocean Management, Anna University. The soil formation consists of limestone and lateritic formation with compressive strength 341kg/sq.cm to support the infrastructure and longevity of the port operationality.
The project proposes to install conveyor belt for transport of minerals that are to be exported. The bauxite mines of Bombay Minerals Limited are in close proximity of the GMB notified Pindara jetty in about 20- 30 km region. Presently, the bauxite produced from these mines is exported from Porbandar, Okha, Jamnagar port located at about 80 to 100 km from mines. It involves transportation of 5 million tons of bauxite ore by trucks to the Porbandar Okha & Jamnagar port. Installation of conveyor belt jetty shall reduce the need of transport of estimated 75,000 trucks per annum over long distance, about 200 km per trip.
The jetty has economic and environmental justification both local and global. It will save costs to the exporters and save precious petroleum resource and foreign exchange for the nation. It will help reduce pollution due to movement of trucks. It will also reduce GHG emission with significantly reduced transport need. It will also save environment in the coastal region from pollution due to truck movement and spillages of mineral, however, minor, during transport. It may further be mentioned that the Okha & Salaya port limits along with Pindara jetty too falls within limits of Marine Sanctuary.
Thus the proposed conveyor belt jetty may not add to disturbance/pollution in the Marine Sanctuary but will benefit the environment in the region. The benefits due to reduce movement of trucks are cascading. While reducing pollution due to reduced emission and spray/spillage during transport it helps keep roads

in the region in better state reducing maintenance need. Better roads have social and health benefits to local people. Reduced GHG emission benefits both local and global environment. It may be mentioned that the Khambhalia region hardly supports economic agriculture. It will provide employment to local people who otherwise have limited options. As this region falls in Seismic IV category, and in the event of any eventuality to the nearby interior villages and Devbhoomi Dwarka District headquarters, this jetty facility will be a life supply line and would help the state disaster management committee.
Part of the proposed site has sparse mangroves. There is little marine life in the region. The site is ideally suited for shipment of mineral cargo. The facility will be used to load barges with conveyor belt provided with adequate safety measures to ensure no pollution to marine environment. The barges would transport the cargo to mother ships to be loaded in high seas.
The jetty will need a total area of 4.49 hectares of which 0.81 hectares is estimated to fall in the Marine Sanctuary. This includes 1.4 hectares area needed for mineral storage of the total 1.6hectares as back up area in the Eco-Sensitive Zone.
