F. Development of Port based Special Economic Zone:

Port-Based Multi-Product Special Economic Zone 

The proposed Special Economic Zone at Jawaharlal Nehru Port is the first-of-its-kind at a major port complex in the country, and would be developed on 277.38 hectares of land along the Panvel-Uran road connecting the cargo terminals to state highways.

Location Profile of Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust

The site is around 15 km from Navi Mumbai and around 40 km from Mumbai city. There are three villages and one township within the catchment area; the JNPT Township, Belpada village near the approach road from Panvel, the Jashkar Village and KaralSonariSawarkar village near the area where the NH 4B and SH 54 meet. Another road linking the port to Panvel is being constructed. There is an oil tank farm area opposite to the SEZ site and a petroleum pipeline running parallel to the railway line, this pipeline is linked to the liquid cargo terminals.

Illustrative Layout of the Special Economic Zone

The Total land area i.e 277.38 hectares is proposed to have the following breakup:

Relevance of SEZ for JNPT

• Market Demand for Industrial Infrastructure: In view of its importance worldwide and the growing demand for SEZs/ FTWZ, globally JNPT intends to expand its footprint by transforming itself into a Global Hub, like Jebel Ali, Port of Shenzhen, Port of Antwerp, through a creation of more value added services.
• Demand for Port Based Facilities: Accordingly, the SEZ has been planned to be developed within the Port Area to ensure end-to-end facilities for export-based industries including manufacturing, warehousing, assembly, packaging and finally shipment.
• SEZ as an Integrated Concept: The proposed SEZ is conceived to have all the integrated facilities and shall be a Port City in itself along the similar lines of other Port based SEZs across Dubai and China. 

Envisaged Project Development Concept

The proposed development is envisaged to be a Port Based Multiproduct Special Economic Zone, with a focus on collaborating upcoming sectors of India such as Logistics , Engineering Goods, Electronics, Apparels and Textiles and Multi Services Sector among others. The proposed industrial infrastructure is planned as a Self Sustainable Integrated Development

Social Quotient

Besides aiding the Port’s EXIM trade enhancement, the proposed Special Economic Zone also envisages a sustainable social framework.

The project implementation shall be aimed to:

• Generate direct and indirect Employment opportunities to the tune of around 1.5 lacs
• Nurture Skilled manpower to boost the trade
• Enhance Entrepreneurial opportunities
• Create World class industrial infrastructure

Provide Premium residential neighborhood 

G. Development of Dry Port at Wardha:

The Dry Port is proposed to be set up at Wardha near Nagpur to serve the surrounding hinterland. Most of the traffic from this region comes to JNPT.

Need for a Dry Port at Nagpur:

• Rice, Steel Coir, Paper, Scrap are some of the commodities with EXIM traffic
• Apart from Nagpur, the dry port will cater to the surrounding regions - ButiBori, Gondia, Chindwara, Amravati, Yavatmal, Chandrapur, Kalameshwar.
• A number of industrial developments proposed in the vicinity of the proposed location- Multi-modal International Hub Airport- MIHAN, Butibori Industrial Estate, MIDC 5 Star Industrial Estate
• Since majority of the existing traffic from Nagpur is to JNPT, creation of an ICD as a port initiative assures a certain minimum level of traffic to JNPT
• Project will have dual advantage-serving hinterland of Nagpur and decongesting traffic at JN Port area

Mapping the Hinterland

• Primary Catchment Area: Butibori, Hingana, Kalmeshwar, Chandrapur, Bhandara, Yayatmal, Amravati, Gondia, WardhaSausar, Chindwara(MP), Jabalpur(MP), Satna(MP), Raipur(CG), Bhilai(CG)
• Various industries are present in the Hinterland: Steel Processing, Fertilizer, Automobile, Building Material, Chemical, Electrical and Engineering, Paper, Pharma, Plastics, Rubber, Wooden processing, Mineral Processing, Food Processing and Textile

Estimated Traffic for Dry Port- Nagpur

• Total Estimated Traffic in Nagpur : 1,20,000 TEUs per annum at present
• Total Traffic handled by CONCOR, Nagpur : 96,000 TEUs per annum - 80% of the traffic
• Total Estimated Traffic from CONCOR, Nagpur to JNPT: 86,400 TEUs per annum

H. Development of Dry Port at Jalna:

The Dry Port is proposed to be set up in the district of Jalna, which is located in the Marathwada region of Maharashtra. The Marathwada region is comprised of the districts of Aurangabad, Nanded, Parbhani, Latur, Beed, Hingoli, Jalna and Osmanabad. 

Need for a Dry Port at Jalna:
