The Port is a modern all‐weather port situated at Panambur, Mangalore (Karnataka State in South India), on the West Coast of India, 170 nautical miles South of Mormugao and 191 nautical miles North of Cochin Port. The Mangalore Harbour Project started in 1962 and was completed in May 1974. On 1st April 1980, the Port Trust Board was set up under the Major Port Trust Act, 1963. Since then, NMPT has been functioning as the 9th Major Port Trust and has fallen in line with other Major Port Trusts functioning in the country. The National Highway 66 passes just outside the port connecting Panvel and Kochi. The Port is served by a Broad Gauge Railway line and is well connected with Southern portion of country through Mangalore, Kerala State and Chennai. The nearest Airport, Bajpe (Mangalore Airport) is just 14 kms from the Port. Mangalore is well connected to Mumbai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Delhi and Chennai by daily flights. Location: Latitude: 120 55’ N Longitude: 740 48’ E Port Area: Water Spread: ‐ 320 Acres (129 hectares) Land Area ‐ 2032 Acres (822 hectares) Total ‐ 2352 Acres (951.04 hectares) New Mangalore Port is a deep water all weather port and the only major port of Karnataka and ninth major port in India. The major commodities exported through the Port are Iron Ore Concentrates & Pellets, Iron Ore Fines, POL Products, granite stones, containerized cargo, etc. The major imports of the Port are Crude and POL products, LPG, coal, limestone, timber logs, finished fertilizers, liquid ammonia, phosphoric acid, other liquid chemicals, containerized cargo, etc. Page 1 Preparation of Comprehensive Land Use Plan for NMPT The new land policy guidelines for major ports‐2014 envisaged that every major port shall have a land use plan covering all the land owned and/or managed by the port. This plan needs to be approved by the Board after due consultations with the stake holders. Invoke of these developments, it becomes imperative for the Port to update the land use plan in line with the new land policy guidelines for major ports by Ministry of Shipping. At present, New Mangalore Port has a land area admeasuring about 2352 acres (including Kudupu and Bondel quarry). To harness the maximum revenue by identifying and commercially exploiting the available land, it was needed to update the existing land use plan of New Mangalore Port Trust. In this direction, RITES submitted its proposal for preparation of land use plan for NMPT. New Mangalore Port Trust has commissioned RITES for preparation of comprehensive land use plan for NMPT Vide letter no 2/33/2014/EBL.2 dated 24.04.2014. RITES’ officials visited NMPT in the first fortnight of May‐14, met the NMPT officials and submitted preliminary land use plan report in June‐14. During RITES’ officials visit to NMPT in June ‐14, several meetings were held with the NMPT officers and other relevant departments of NMPT. During site visit, RITES’ officials also met other stake holders apart from collection of relevant data from NMPT. The pre final land use plan and report submitted to NMPT in July 2014. RITES officers visited NMPT on 1st week of August, 2014 and modified the report and land use plan as discussed with the Civil Engineering Department, NMPT. 1.1 Objective The land use planning aims towards strategic land use pattern in line with the Business Plan and its implementation by the New Mangalore Port Trust (NMPT). The consultants has analyzed the existing land use pattern of NMPT and identify the key land use changes that are likely to take place due to projected cargo throughput as well as the implementation of ongoing/ expansion projects on the anvil. Based on this final land use plan has been prepared. Thus the main objective of the Land Use Plan is to ensure that port has adequate land and associated infrastructure in place to meet the forecasted traffic in the coming years. Page 2 Preparation of Comprehensive Land Use Plan for NMPT 2.0 Scope of Services for Proposed Land Use Plan Study 1 Preparation of land use plan for next five years in co‐ordination with New Mangalore Port officials to identify and demarcate the land considering the future growth of the port vis‐ à‐vis the city’s growth. 2 To identify existing zone wise land use plan and its modification suitable for future land use in line with the TAMP approved SOR / zoning pattern. 3 Identification of available land for allocation to port users on short term / long term lease or license basis on case to case basis, based on the existing utility of the land including Custom bond and non‐Custom bond area. 4 Assessment of land requirement and preparation of guidelines for land requirement would include: i. Examining existing land use plan/ master plan/ business plan document. ii. Stockyards allocated to various berths and stockyard requirement for future development activities of the Port. iii. Parking and truck terminal requirements. iv. Reviewing the existing lease allocation made to various parties by the port so far. v. Examine the PPP projects on the anvil and the land allocation proposed for those projects. vi. Examine the existing utility of leased land and the revenue accrued thereon. vii. Collection of statistical data from the port regarding land allocated for various parties, capacity of storage and the land value in terms of market rates. viii. Analysis of land requirement of the ports for port connectivity infrastructure such as rail, road, pipeline etc. based on traffic forecast and other ancillary requirements. ix. Buffer zone requirement considering hazardous cargo / environmental aspects. x. Meet important stake holders to obtain their views. xi. Suggestions on changes if any required on the current utilisation plan. xii. Suggestion on requirement to acquire any additional land based on land use plan xiii. Suggestions and recommendations on change in existing land use pattern leading to revenue generation. xiv. Suggestions on de‐leasing of any idle land available with existing lease holders to put the same to remunerative use/ re‐lease. Page 3 Preparation of Comprehensive Land Use Plan for NMPT xv. Preparation of detailed report covering the above aspects to enable the port to generate additional revenue on effective utilization of land under its control including land at Kudupu and Bondel. 3.0 Approach and Methodology NMPT handled 39.36 MT in year 2013‐14. The traffic projection made for year 2019‐20 is about 50 MTPA. To achieve the above traffic, various modernization and capacity addition projects are under progress in various stages. RITES obtained required data from NMPT and analyzed the area presently utilized by various parties and their contribution to the port in terms of traffic. The collected data was also scrutinized in terms of utility of the land by the existing lease holder. Further, to prepare the Land Use plan considering the above facts, RITES collected the data on exports and imports of cargo, details on cargo composition handled through NMPT. Based on the through put details of various commodities the categorization of the stack area was demarcated. Since the requirement of land for storage of cargo is prime concern, detailed calculations were carried out for land area requirement for storage of various cargoes categorically as open storage, covered storage, open / covered storage, container yard etc.
