JNPA has established a multi-product port based Special Economic Zone (SEZ), in line with the objective of port-led industrialization, of Sagarmala vision, under the Ministry of Port, Shipping and Waterways’. This SEZ is strategically located and boasts excellent connectivity via waterways, airways and roadways, making it an ideal hub for export-oriented industries in India. The port has made significant investments in state-of-art infrastructure to support the industries. JNPA is the developer and the Special Planning Authority for the SEZ, having its own Development Control and Promotion Regulations (DCPR), sanctioned by the Government of Maharashtra.
Key features enhancing the ease of doing business include a streamlined Single Window Clearance approval mechanism for essential services such as building permits, electricity, water, and fire safety. Moreover, JNPA SEZ has obtained all necessary clearances and permissions, including Environmental Clearance from the Government of India (GoI), Consent-to-Establish and Consent-to-Operate from the Maharashtra Pollution Control Board (MPCB), and an Electricity Distribution License from the Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission (MERC).
The SEZ's attractiveness is further bolstered by its proximity to critical infrastructure projects, including the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link (MTHL), Suburban rail to Uran, Dedicated Freight Corridor (DFC) rail corridor and upcoming transport infrastructure like Navi Mumbai International Airport and Virar-Alibaug Multi-Modal Corridor. These connections position JNPA SEZ as a premier manufacturing destination, aiming to set new benchmarks in port-led industrialization in India.
The SEZ covers a total land area of 277.38 hectares (685 acres), with approximately 163 hectares (403 acres) available as leasable land. The SEZ is operational from June 24, 2020. The SEZ allots plots for a 60-year lease period through E-Tender cum E-auction.
As of now, 54 plots have been issued LOI comprising 307 Acres of land, with 9 units and 1 Free Trade Warehousing Zone (FTWZ) already in operation. Other Units/ Co-developers are in different stages of development like awaiting approvals or operational documentation process. The operational units are engaged in diverse sectors such as warehousing, food processing, manufacturing, and trading.

In light of the growing need to boost agricultural exports and to align with India’s Agriculture Export Policy, JNPA has conceived a plan to set up an export-oriented agricultural produce processing and storage facility at Sheva, Raigad, Maharashtra. This exit point infrastructure shall be a multi-commodity storage and processing facility intended to enhance the shelf-life and quality of export agricultural produce and increase the quantum of India's agricultural exports to the world.
The primary objective of this exit point facility is to extend the shelf life of a variety of produce and to meet sanitary and phytol-sanitary requirements specified by destination countries, thereby reducing losses occurring due to rejection at destination. The facility will play a vital role in developing the processes, quality standards and packaging standards in India to meet the most stringent global standards. The project is being structured to be built through the PPP route.
1. Address the wastage occurring in the export or import processes due to multiple handling and inefficient logistics.Lower the overall logistics costs for agricultural commodities, including dry grains, perishables, spices, meat, and marine products.
2. Implement certification and quality control measures to prevent cargo rejection.
3. Provide comprehensive logistics, storage, processing, regulatory support, approvals, and quality control services in a single facility.
4. Minimize wastage caused by multiple handling of commodities.
5. Improve commodity shelf life by introducing technological intervention.
The Letter of Award has been issued to the highest successful bidder M/s Trident Agro com Exports Private Limited JV with M/s Man Infra Construction Limited (Consortium) on 31st December, 2024.The Concession Agreement is signed on 11th March, 2025 and under fulfillment of Condition Precedent.
JNPA has developed the coastal berth with a capacity of 2.8 MTPA to provide a dedicated berth for coastal cargo. The facility was developed in November 2020 and commissioned in July 2021. Currently, the berth is operated by M/s. Nhava Sheva Distribution Terminal Pvt. Ltd. The evacuation of cargo from this coastal berth currently involves a level crossing of Railway lines (4 nos. at present) and a road for Inter Terminal Rail Handling Operation. With four tracks intersecting the road leading to the Landing Jetty and Coastal Berth, this leads to frequent halts in traffic when trains pass through. This congestion can result in longer travel times for vehicles and disrupt the flow of goods and people to and from the port. The ITRHO road intersects the existing road perpendicularly at this location. This road is essential for the movement of container traffic to and from the port. Restricting this traffic to a single road means that any congestion or delay at the railway crossing can have a significant impact on the efficiency of port operations and logistics. With JNPA becoming DFCC compliant and works of DFCC nearing completion, frequency of cargo rakes at JNPA is envisaged to increase and therefore with increased frequency, such level crossings would cause congestion and reduced cargo handling efficiency at the Port. These railway lines are vital feeders to the JNPA port yards, including JNPA, GTIPL, and Shallow Berth. Any halt in traffic due to train movement not only affects the efficiency of port operations but can also block the movement of goods and people to these important facilities. To overcome these challenges, a Railway Over Bridge has been conceptualized.
The construction of a Rail Over Bridge at this location will alleviate congestion, improve traffic flow, enhance security, and accommodate the expected increase in railway traffic and berth traffic. This project will contribute to the overall efficiency and safety of the transportation network in the area, benefiting both the port and the local community.
