JNPA/FIN/TARIFF/2024-25/577
ORDER
(Passed on this 2nd day of April 2024)
1. This case relates to the proposal received from Gateway Terminal India Private Limited ('GTIPL'), a BOT Operator at Jawaharlal Nehru Port Authority (JNPA), vide its letter no. FIN/TARIFF/ REV/2024/01 dated 26th February 2024 and letter No. GTIPL/TAMP/Partial Tariff Proposal 01 dated 29th February 2024 for Partial Tariff Revision of its Scale of Rates.
2. GTIPL had earlier filed its general tariff revision proposal dated 22nd June 2022 for general revision of its SOR, following Tariff Guidelines, 2019. The GTIPL had furnished detailed computation of Annual Revenue Requirement (ARR) under Form-1 and Revenue estimation at the proposed rate in Form-4. As per the said form, the total revenue estimated at the proposed level of tariff is Rs. 80,392.21 lakhs.
3. While computing the said estimated revenue, GTIPL had considered a Capital Work in Progress at Rs. 206.87 crore which included an advance payment of Rs.200.36 Crore made towards manufacturing of STS and RMGC which were being manufactured at vendor facility in China. It was noted that the said advance payment were not in commensurate with the tariff guidelines and accordingly the same was required to be revised by JNPA.
4. Consequently, GTIPL revised its various tariff filing forms and also furnished a revised draft SOR vide an email dated 24th March 2023, with an estimated total revenue of Rs. 76,833.59 Lakh. Further, it was also agreed upon that as the STS and RMGC equipment were being manufactured in an offshore location, the same were not taken into consideration while computing the ARR. Thus, considering the revised JNPA approved the Scale of Rates and conditionalities of the GTIPL vide its order dated 5th April 2023.
(१)
भाग दोन-३६–१ २ महाराष्ट्र शासन राजपत्र असाधारण भाग दोन, एप्रिल ३, २०२४/चैत्र १४, शके १९४६ 5. Subsequently, vide its letter dated 26th February 2024, GTIPL has informed that the aforementioned equipment has now been installed, commissioned and put to use since September 2023. GTIPL has explained that the advances were in line with a purchase agreement entered into with ZPMC China for procurement six Ship to Shore (STS) cranes and three Rail Mounted Gantry (RMG) Cranes as part of the mandate within the licence agreement. The equipment had a construction lead time of 2 years with defined milestones for payment, delivery and commissioning. Accordingly, milestone payments to the tune of INR 200.36 crores had been made until 31st March 2022. The said payment was included in the statutory accounts as on 31st March 2022 as Capital advances and for the purpose of General Tariff revision, it was covered under Capital Work in Progress, however as mentioned above the same was not considered in ARR so computed.
6. GTIPL has further informed that with increased outreach of 23 on the six new Ship to Shore cranes, GTIPL is able to handle vessels of bigger parcel size which could cumulatively support a 10% increase in annual throughput capacity from 2m to 2.18m TEUs. Further the three RMGC's has supported in improving the train turnaround time and also enable handling of DFC double stack rakes.
7. In light of the above, GTIPL in line with Clause 2.14 of 2019 TAMP guidelines has sought for a partial revision for good and sufficient reasons since assets, involving an outlay of Rs. 200.36 crores is not within the ambit of previous ROCE, resulting in significant revenue loss to GTI.
8. Thus, GTIPL has requested JNPA to consider their proposal for a Partial Revision of Tariff by including Rs. 200.31 crores within the ambit for the 16% Return on Capital enabling a revision of the Scale Rates to accommodate the changes, without prejudice to the right of GTI to seek a general tariff revision as per cycle prescribed in current guidelines (cycle of 3 years since last revision in year 2023).
9. GTIPL has filed its revised proposal dated 1st March 2024 for partial tariff revision of its SOR, following Tariff Guidelines, 2019.The GTIPL has made the following submissions :– (a) Taking into consideration the equipment of Rs.200.36 crores, the related Scale of Rates has been revised by the GTIPL. The rates have been increased in accordance of the said addition and will result in an average increase of 7.39% to GTIPL as given below.
| Sr. no. Particulars | Revenue-INR | |
| A | ARR as per approved general tariff revision | 7,68,33,59,508 |
| B | WPI on above 7.27% | 55,85,80,236 |
| C | ARR after WPI as @1st May 2023 (A+B) | 8,24,19,39,744 |
| D | Addition to ARR due to partial revision (16%) | 32,05,76,455 |
| E | Proposed ARR | 8,56,25,16,199 |
| F | Proposed Average increase | 7.39% |
(b) GTIPL is under the Tariff Guidelines, 2019 issued by the Ministry of Shipping and notified by the Tariff for Major Ports (TAMP) (bearing no. TAMP/61/2018-Misc vide Gazette Notification No.92 dated 7 March 2019) and the Working guidelines, 2019 issued by TAMP in consultation with the concerned BOT operators and Major Port Trusts and have prepared the revised partial proposal for fixation of tariff in accordance with the said Tariff Guidelines and Working Guidelines, in the formats and supporting documents as prescribed by the Tariff Authority for Major Ports.
(c) GTIPL in line with Clause 2.14 of 2019 TAMP guidelines has sought for a partial revision for good and sufficient reasons since assets, involving an outlay of Rs. 200.36 crores is not within the ambit of previous ROCE, resulting in significant revenue loss to GTI. This is without prejudice to the right of GTIPL to seek a general tariff revision as per cycle prescribed in current guidelines (a cycle of 3 years since last revision in year 2023).
महाराष्ट्र शासन राजपत्र असाधारण भाग दोन, एप्रिल ३, २०२४/चैत्र १४, शके १९४६ ३ 10. A joint hearing on the case in reference was held on 11th March 2024. The GTIPL made a presentation of the proposal. At the joint hearing, the representatives of GTIPL and JNPA and other users or organisational bodies were present, wherein certain queries were raised by the trade representatives/ stake holders. Queries raised and their response given by GTIPL thereon, are tabulated below :
| Sr. No. | Query | Response of GTIPL |
| 1. | GTI had recently increased their tariffs in April 2023, which along with the WPI increase of 7.27% had an overall increase of about 16.27% inclusive of tariff revision of 9%. The increase shall be staggered/ postponed to avoid any major financial burden on trade. | GTIPL explained that expected increase should have ideally happened in 2023 if not for the exclusion due to the conditions mentioned earlier. The delayed implementation has meant a revenue loss of INR 32 Crores over the last financial year to GTI. Considering the financial position of the company and the fact that external borrowings are in place it would not be financially viable to postpone the implementation any further. GTIPL made it clear that the increase on an average is just about 6.24% when looked from a line-item level and the said higher percentage was mainly because of implemented ITRHO tariff in Jan 2024 covering all JNPA Terminals , which was long overdue and happened after more than a decade |
| 2. | It was requested that advance notice of 45 days be issued before any such changes. | GTIPL agreed to this and said that the entire cycle of revision spans involves a period of more than 45 days considering the intimation and final implementation after gazette notification. Further, it was clarified that the Tariff proposals are guided by 2019 Tariff guidelines which stipulate a 30 day notice period. |
| 3. | It was requested to consider waiver of charges for empty containers. | GTIPL replied that the tariff guidelines does not allow such waivers as the tariff for empty containers if fixed as a percentage of handling normal containers. |
11. With reference to the totality of the information collected during the processing of this case, the following position emerges :
(a) Based on a proposal filed by the tariff of Gateway Terminal India Private Limited (GTIPL), the tariff of GTIPL was last revised vide Order dated 5th April 2023, based on the stipulations contained in the Tariff Guidelines, 2019. The said tariff has come into effect since and will be in force from 20th April 2023 upto 20th April 2026
भाग दोन-३६–१अ४ महाराष्ट्र शासन राजपत्र असाधारण भाग दोन, एप्रिल ३, २०२४/चैत्र १४, शके १९४६ (b) As stipulated in Clause 2.1 of the Tariff Guidelines, 2019, the Annual Revenue Requirement (ARR), which formed the base to decide the tariff to be levied by GTIPL during the period, was based on the average actual expenditure incurred by GTIPL during the years 2019-20 to 2021-22, based on the audited annual accounts for the respective years plus Return at 16% of Capital Employed. Capital employed shall be as per Clause 2.5. of the guidelines. One of the components of capital employed considered in the proposal while determining the ARR by GTIPL was the advance payment by GTIPL for certain equipment being manufactured in China amounting to Rs. 200.36 Crore. This was excluded in the revised proposal since the same was not being accounted in the Audited Accounts as Capital Work in Progress but capital advance. Accordingly, the Tariff was revised vide order dated 5th April 2023, without considering such advance payment.
(c) In the proposal submitted as mentioned above, GTIPL has submitted that the said equipment amounting to Rs. 200.36 Crs. has been installed, commissioned and put to use since September, 2023. In support of the same, GTIPL has furnished the certificate of statutory auditors dated 29.02.2024 which is being relied upon.
(d) In the proposal, the ARR calculated as per the last approved order has been adopted at Rs. 768.33 Crs. which was indexed till FY 2022-23. The same has been further indexed as per 100% of WPI applicable for FY 2023-24 being 7.27% resulting into ARR of Rs. 824.19 Crs. Further, GTIPL has adopted ROCE @16% as per the guidelines on the equipment of Rs. 200.36 Crs. which comes to Rs. 32.05 Crs. Accordingly, the resultant ARR comes at Rs.856.25 Crs.
(e) Clause 2.14 of the Tariff Guidelines, 2019, stipulates that for good and sufficient reasons, the BOT operator may propose revision ahead-of-schedule either for general revision or partial revision of its SOR. Given the above and facts, the increase in the SOR proposed by GTIPL would lead to an increase in revenue of GTIPL and would partially alleviate financial difficulties of GTIPL; it is a good and sufficient reason and such partial revision would include such increase in the revenue on account of capitalisation of the asset. Therefore, JNPA is inclined to consider the review proposal for revision of its SOR as filed by GTIPL, in accordance with Clause 2.14 of the Tariff Guidelines, 2019.
(f) The GTIPL has furnished detailed workings to establish that the increase in the SOR which will lead to an average increase of 7.39%. The rates for various charges considered by GTIPL in its calculations are seen to be in order.
(g) The overall impact of the proposed increase is an average increase of 7.39% over the indexed tariff of GTIPL prevailing with effect from 1st May 2023.
(h) Thus, based on the submissions made by GTIPL in its proposal considering that Clause 2.14 of the Tariff Guidelines, 2019, provides for an ahead-of-schedule partial revision of its SOR, for good and sufficient reasons, this Authority is inclined to grant an increase in the charges prescribed for different activities.
(i) In the result, and for the reasons given above, and based on the collective application of mind, the existing tariff will be revised with the SOR enclosed herewith.
(j) The GTIPL is directed to make necessary amendment in its Scale of Rates.
