TARIFF AUTHORITY FOR MAJOR PORTS

NOTIFICATION

Mumbai, the 21st January, 2015

No. TAMP/21/2009-WS.—In compliance of the policy direction issued by Government of India in the Ministry

of Shipping (MOS) under Section 111 of the Major Port Trusts Act, 1963 (38 of 1963), as conveyed by MOS vide its

communication No.8(1)/2014-TAMP, dated 13 January 2015, the Tariff Authority for Major Ports hereby notifies the

following Tariff Policy for Major Port Trusts called “Policy for Determination of Tariff for Major Port Trusts,

2015”.

The relevant clause of the Tariff Policy for Major Port Trusts called “Policy for Determination of Tariff for

Major Port Trusts, 2015” will come into effect from the date of issue. The MOS has issued these directions to this

Authority vide its letter dated 13 January 2015. Accordingly, these Tariff Policy for Major Port Trusts called “Policy

for Determination of Tariff for Major Port Trusts, 2015” will come into effect from 13 January 2015.

Policy for Determination of Tariff for Major Port Trusts, 2015

Preamble

The market conditions for provision of port services have undergone significant change since liberalization in

the Port sector and expansion of port infrastructure following the introduction of Public Private Partnerships at Major

Ports since 1996. Non-major ports have expanded rapidly and now have a substantial presence which accounts for about

42% of the cargo share. Further, there is no parity in the regulation mechanism between the major port trusts and the

non-major ports. Whilst tariffs of Major Port Trusts are regulated following cost plus return approach, non-major ports

are not covered by any tariff regulation. A need is, therefore, felt to give flexibility to the Major Port Trusts to react to the

market forces and also to encourage Major Port Trusts for better performance within the ambit of Major Port Trusts Act,

1963. In order to accomplish this Government hereby issues the following Tariff Policy:—

POLICY FOR DETERMINATION OF TARIFF FOR MAJOR PORT TRUSTS, 2015

PRELIMINARY

1.1

This Policy is issued to the Major Port Trusts and the Tariff Authority for Major Ports (the “TAMP”)

as a policy direction under Section 111 of the Major Port Trusts Act, 1963 as amended from time to time (the

“MPT Act”), for fixation of tariffs at Major Port Trusts to which the provisions of the MPT Act apply or are

extended [the “Port(s)]”.

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : EXTRAORDINARY

[PART III—SEC. 4]

1.2

The direction may be called ‘Policy for Determination of Tariff for Major Port Trusts, 2015 (the

“Tariff Policy”).

1.3

This Policy shall come into effect from the date of issue, and unless reviewed earlier or extended by the

Government, shall remain in force for a period of 3 years.

1.4

This Policy is not applicable to BOT/BOOT operators or any other arrangement for private sector participation.

1.5

This is a broad policy framework. The TAMP may, in consultation with all the Major Port Trusts, issue

working guidelines to operationalise the policy frame work.

DETERMINATION OF SCALE OF RATES

2.1

Each Major Port Trust will assess the Annual Revenue Requirement (ARR) which is the average of the sum of
