Policy for Captive Facilities to Port-based Industries
The Union Government has been following a policy for providing captive facilities for port based industries in the following cases:
(i) Where 100% Captive Facilities (land/waterfront) including capital oil Jetties, platforms or Single Buoy Mooring (SBM) are sought by Port based industries including Central State Public Sector undertakings.
(ii) Industries which are port specific and are approved by concerned administrative ministries and where the industry is willing to pay maximum realisation which Port may determine.
Under this policy, a port based industry is one which requires 100% captive berths/back up area for the purpose of import of raw materials and/or export of finished products and/or transportation of raw materials/finished products. General guidelines of BOT, wherever applicable, may be applied in cases of captive facilities.
This information was given by Minister of State for Shipping, Shri Pon Radhakrishnan in a written reply in the Rajya Sabha today.
