(Passed on this 5th day of November 2001)
A proposal of the JNPT to increase the wharfage for finished fertilisers and
fertiliser raw material in case of manually discharged vessels was considered by this Authority
and an Order was passed on 12 June 2001. The Order was notified In the Gazette of India on
20 June 2001. In its proposal, the JNPT had only mentioned that special rebate based on
volumes wore being allowed in order to encourage usage of the mechanised system. The
JNPT did not, however, disolose any further details about the Volume Discount Soheme in that
proposal.
1.2. With reference to the Order dated 12 June 2001. the JNPT had subsequently
intimated that oertain volume rebates were given by the port on total handling and wharfage
oharges to the users of its bulk cargo handling system. The volume rebate was Implemented
with the approval of Its Board of Trustees from 25 October 2000 initially for a period of 6
months. The scheme was extended for a further period of 6 months i.e., up to 25 October
2001. The JNPT requested to approve the existing volume rebate till 25 October 2001 and also
to extend it for a further period of 6 months i.e., up to 25 April 2002. The request made by the
JNPT was found incomplete as no details of the existing volume rebate were given. The JNPT
was, therefore, requested to submit a detailed proposal in this regard.
2.1. The JNPT has accordingly, submitted a proposal detailing the existing scheme
for volume rebates for mechanised handling of fertilisers and fertiliser raw materials and
proposed to extend it to a further period up to 25 April 2002.
2.2. In its proposal, the JNPT has made the following points:
(i). The volume discount was given initially for a period of six months to the users
for mechanised handling through conveyor system for fertilisers and fertiliser
raw materials in terms of its Board resolution dated 25 October 2000. A trade
notice to this effect was issued on 17 November 2000.
(ii). The Board of Trustees of the JNPT in its meeting held on 22 March 2001
extended the volume rebate scheme for a further period of 6 months i.e., up to
25 October 2001. The Board of Trustees further decided that a proposal be
forwarded to the TAMP for approval of the scheme, in case the Importers were
found to keep their commitment. The Board had also decided to extend the
scheme for a further period of 6 months beyond 25 October 2001 pending
receipt of approval and notification by the TAMP for volume rebate.
