Storage Charges (36th day onwards)

7.1. AMPTPL vide letter No. AMPTPL/2022/888 dated 21-10-2022 has submitted amended proposal as given below, for considering AMPTPL as stressed project for FY 2021-22.

1. "We refer to the captioned Concession Agreement dated 22 September, 2009 ("the CA") between Mormugao Port Authority and Adani Mormugao Port Terminal Pvt. Ltd., ("AMPTPL") for Coal Handling Terminal at Berth No. 7 in the Port of Mormugao ("MPA") on Design, Build, Finance, Operate and Transfer Basis ("the Project").

2. We further refer to the Upfront Tariff notified for the Project by the Tariff Authority for Major Ports ("TAMP") vide Order dated 07 August, 2008 in Case No. TAMP/23/2008 (notified in Gazette No. 141 dated 20 August, 2008) ("Upfront Tariff") and to the Scale of Rates notified by TAMP for the facility designed and built by AMPTPL vide Order dated 04 July, 2014 in Case No. TAMP/13/2014 (notified in Gazette No. 224 dated 25 July, 2014) ("SOR").

3. We refer to the Stressed PPP Projects Guidelines notified by the Ministry of Shipping, Government of India vide Letter No. PD-13/1/2018-PPP Cell dated 11 July, 2018 ("Stressed PPP Guidelines").

4. We refer to our letter No. AMPTPL/2021-22/659 dated 20-07-2021 ("Stressed Project Application"), whereby we had requested that the Coal Handling Terminal at Berth No. 7 at MPA be considered to be a Stressed PPP Project under the Stressed PPP Guidelines.

5. Lastly, in this connection, we refer to the MPA Letter No. CME/PROJ/34/2022/1021 dated 03-10-22 whereby the MPA has communicated that the Board of Trustees for the MPA has decided to favorably consider the Stressed Project Application for the financial year 2021-22; and ordered to submit a proposal for the rationalization of storage charges along with the justification for the reasonableness.

6. As is apparent from the facts, data and information provided in the Stressed Project Application, the Upfront Tariff and SOR provide for a free storage period of 15 days (in contrast with 25 days in the Upfront Tariff Guidelines, 2008 notified by TAMP) on the basis of an assumed plot turnover ratio of 20 that is inherently dependent on the cargo evacuation infrastructure available to the terminal Operator. It is a matter of record that the cargo evacuation infrastructure available to AMPTPL's Coal Handling Terminal at Berth No. 7 at MPA is woefully inadequate as the flyover and 4-lane highway connectivity which was promised by MPA to be532 OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA SERIES II No. 21 24TH AUGUST, 2023 completed in 2010 are yet to be delivered, and there are restrictions imposed by the Goa State Pollution Control Board ("GSPCB") on the movement of coal cargo on trucks except during the narrow window between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. It is thus observed that the average dwell time is around 30 days. As per TAMP guidelines storage charges free period of 25 days is fixed, hence we propose to increase free storage period from existing 15 days to 25 days. The brief working of vessels along with dwell time for FY 21-22 is enclosed herewith as "Annexure".

7. As a result of the low capacity of the cargo evacuation infrastructure leading to higher dwell times, and the low free storage period notified in the Upfront Tariff and SOR, the notional storage charges based on the SOR work out to much higher than the envisaged 1% of Annual Revenue Requirement (ARR) as provided by the Upfront Tariff Guidelines, 2008. In fact, the notional Storage Charges work out, in several cases, to be much higher than the Cargo Handling Charges as per the SOR! Unsurprisingly, AMPTPL has never been able to charge or recover any Storage Charges since inception till date, for the reason that the Storage Charges under the Upfront Tariff and SOR are not commercially viable and if AMPTPL were to levy Storage Charges as per the SOR, the cargo handling business would simply move away from MPA to other competing ports.

8. Faced with a severely constrained cargo volumes (which were abysmally low when compared to the projections in the Detailed Project Report dated 12 March 2010 ("DPR") and the facilities constructed and built by AMPTPL) and coupled with a high cost of borrowed capital for an escalated actual Project Cost which has not yet been compensated to AMPTPL, AMPTPL began incurring substantial operating and cash losses in each year, such that by 31 March, 2018, more than 100% of its net worth had been wiped out.

9. It is in this background that AMPTPL had made the Stressed Project Application. It remains AMPTPL's position that it fully meets all objective criteria established under the Stressed PPP Guidelines, including but not limited to the following:

i) Sub-optimal utilization of the project facilities, as evidenced by the actual cargo handled by AMPTPL during two preceding financial years, namely 2020-21 and 2021-22, being less than 70% of the projection as per DPR/Feasibility report forming part of the bid document;

ii) AMPTPL incurring cash loss continuously for two preceding financial years, namely 2020-21 and 2021-22; and

iii) The losses incurred by AMPTPL have caused at least 50% erosion of its peak Net Worth during the operation period.

10. AMPTPL has not been able to achieve the proposed ARR through realization of tariff. The tariff cap for different individual services is therefore, to be set appropriately by TAMP so as to enable AMPTPL to achieve the ARR determined as per Clause 3.8.2 of the Upfront Tariff Guidelines, 2008.

11. The commercial unviability of the Upfront Tariff and SOR for the Coal Handling Terminal at Berth No. 7 is also highlighted by the fact that as against the TAMP-notified 16% Return On Capital Employed ("ROCE"), AMPTPL has had a negative ROCE, as per AMPTPL's audited books of accounts for the 5 years preceding 2020-21 is set out below:-

12. It is indisputable that AMPTPL meets all objective criteria for being declared a Stressed PPP Project within the meaning assigned to the said term under the Stressed PPP Guidelines, and as a corollary,533 OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA SERIES II No. 21 24TH AUGUST, 2023 AMPTPL qualifies for rationalization of the Tariff and SOR for the Coal Handling Terminal at Berth No. 7 of MPT. This has also been confirmed by MPT vide its letter dated 03 Oct., 2022.

Guidance on Tariff Rationalization from the Upfront Tariff Guidelines, 2008 read with the Stressed PPP Guidelines

13. As per the Annexure III of the Upfront Tariff Guidelines, 2008 the norms for apportionment of the ARR is as follows.

Tariff Group Percentage of Total revenue allocated

1

2

Coal Handling Charges 98

Storage Charges

1

Miscellaneous Charges 1

14. For the identified stressed assets, the Stressed PPP Guidelines recommends the extension of the free storage period with a view to optimize the capacity utilization of the berth. In making this recommendation, the Stressed PPP Guidelines also note the following points, all of which apply to AMPTPL's case since commencement of cargo operations:-

(a) The norm fixed by TAMP (in the Upfront Tariff Guidelines, 2008) anticipating 1% revenue towards storage charges out of gross revenue from handling charges was based on certain assumptions regarding the dwell time of cargo, which may change based on factors such as availability of rakes, storage space at importers premises, etc.;

(b) As a result of higher and telescopic storage charges, cargo handling migrates away to non-major ports that offer higher free time and as a result, the income generation from the projects come down, making them unviable.

(c) The higher storage charges and resultant diversion of cargo handling business to non-mechanized facilities defeats the very objective of the PPP projects for mechanization of cargo berths at major ports.

15. Accordingly, we had requested MPA to increase the free period (which is currently 15 days as per the Upfront Tariff, and as adopted in the CA). The MPA got a Special Audit for AMPTPL conducted by M/s. D S Pawooskar & Co. and D.K Chhajer for Financial Year 2019-20 & FY 2020-21 respectively and on consideration of the Special Audit Report along with the Report made by AMPTPL's Statutory Auditors, M/s. Deloitte Haskins & Sells LLP, affirmatively concluded that AMPTPL qualifies as a Stressed PPP Project under the Stressed PPP Guidelines.

AMPTPL's Proposal for Tariff Rationalization for 2021-22

16. AMPTPL agrees and undertakes to comply with the Stressed PPP Guidelines such that:

a) No Storage charges and hence no Royalty if cargo is cleared within the free period as per executed CA (i.e. 15 days free period).

b) If the cargo is cleared after the expiry of free period as per the executed CA but within the extended free period, no storage charges will be applied but AMPTPL shall pay Royalty equal to 1% ARR to MPA; and

c) If the cargo is cleared after extended free period (i.e. beyond 25 days), AMPTPL shall pay Royalty equal to quoted % on actual storage charges recovered or 1% of ARR whichever is higher for the period beyond the extended period.

17. It is pertinent that AMPTPL continues to meet the objective criteria under the Stressed PPP Guidelines in Financial Year 2021-22, and the data and Auditor's Reports in this behalf have already been provided to MPA.

18. Now, therefore, we, the Concessionaire, AMPTPL, do hereby apply for the rationalization of SOR and a suitable amendment to the CA w.e.f. 01 April, 2021 for the Financial Year 2021-22.

19. Accordingly, in light of our current request, the SOR may be amended and the table at Para 4 of the Schedule to the SOR be substituted w.e.f. 01 April, 2021 for the Financial Year 2021-22 as follows which is already notified by TAMP for the FY 2019-20 & MPA notified for the FY 2020-21:

During joint hearing, AMPTPL informed that, Adani Enterprises Ltd. (AEL) would not attend the meeting but, offer their comments through letter. Accordingly, AEL vide letter dtd. 17-05-2023, forwarded vide AMPTPL email dated 20-05-2023, submitted their comments as given below:

AEL handles the power plants and other customers coal requirement, through AMPTPL. The following are issues faced by them in discharging customers to utilize Berth No. 7 at MPA for coal imports.

(i) Free storage period of only 15 days we need at least 30 days free storage to facilitate the trade.

(ii) The existing Storage rent is higher than the other Ports. The Storage rate needs to be rationalized to be competitive.

(iii) Inadequate rakes supplied by SWR/MPA to AMPTPL.

-West Coast Paper Mills Ltd.

(i) Mr. Vivek Gupta of M/s. West Coast Paper Mills Ltd., attended the meeting and informed that, the free storage period is very less as compared to other neighbouring Ports. M/s. West Coast requested to increase the free period to 45 days.

(ii) Storage charges are very high as compared to other neighbouring Ports and requested to make it competitive.

-Goa Carbon Ltd.

(i) Mr. Ajay Prasad of M/s. Goa Carbon Ltd., attended the meeting and raised issue that, the storage plot rent is very high.

(ii) Free period for storage of cargo is less and should be competitive with other Ports. He informed that they have planned higher quantity i.e. 1,00,000 MT, this year, but due to high storage charges and less free period, they can handle less than 50,000 MT.

(iii) M/s. Goa Carbon requested to increase free period from 15 to 30 days.

11.1. After going through the total information collected during the processing of the case, the following position emerges:

A. The request of the AMPTPL to increase free period from present 15 days to 25 days, as prescribed in the Upfront Tariff Guidelines 2008 for the year 2021-22 andrationalization of storage charges by increasing the free period from 15 days to 25 days for the year 2021-22 by treating the AMPTPL project as stressed project in pursuance of the MOS letter No. PD-13/1/2018-PPP cell dated 11 July, 2018 for stressed PPP project is in order.

B. A comparative position of storage schedule as per the upfront tariff approved by TAMP vide its Order dated 7 August, 2008, rate applicable as per SOR notified in the name of the AMPTPL vide Order dated 4 July, 2014 for the year 2021-22 after applicable automatic indexation announced by this Authority (i.e. compoundable indexation factor of 35.08% upto the year 2017-18 for the base year 1 January, 2008, annual indexation factor of 1.13% for the year 2020-21 and 0.33% for the year 2021-22) and rationalized storage charges proposed by AMPTPL by increasing the free period from existing 15 days to 25 days is tabulated below:

C. The AMPTPL had earlier sought from the MPA to increase free period from existing 15 days to 25 days citing the constraints of restricted dispatches of cargo due to probable traffic congestion, non- operational 4-lane connectivity and frequent restriction by GSPCB on movement of cargo. The Port then impressed upon the AMPTPL that, giving extra storage period would reduce the terminal turnaround time and increase the risk of customers using the terminal as storage yard area.

D. Recognizing that the proposal filed by the AMPTPL is based on the approval of the Board of Mormugao Port Authority and is also based on the MOS letter dated 11 July, 2018 on the Stressed Project for a period of one year i.e. 2021-22 and is intended to improve the utilization of the facility created, Board of Mormugao Port Authority may consider to approve the current proposal of the AMPTPL as per Para 6 of the MOS letter dated 11 July, 2018 which states that, the Concessioning Authority is to review the situation, periodically for optimum utilization of the facility created.

E. The Committee has proposed the rationalized storage schedule by increasing the free period from existing 15 days to 25 days, for one year for FY 2021-22 and has opined, that it will review the proposed rationalization after one year and shall approach Mormugao Port Authority.

F. The current proposal is for a period of one year i.e. FY 2021-22. Recognizing that the storage charge and the free period prescribed in the SOR notified in the name of the AMPTPL is for the entire project period of 30 years subject to annual escalation. Further, a note is prescribed that the rationalized storage schedule is applicable for period of one year i.e. year 2021-22 from 1 April, 2021 till 31 March, 2022 and that from 1 April, 2021 onwards, the original storage schedule as approved in the Order dated 4 July, 2014 with appropriate indexation rates shall apply.

G. This will tantamount to prescribing the rate with retrospective effect from 1 April, 2021 to 31 March, 2022. Since the proposal is an agreed proposal between the Port and the AMPTPL and is in pursuance of the MOS letter dated 11 July, 2018 for stressed PPP project, the Committee recommends Mormugao Port Authority to accord approval to the same with retrospective effect for the said one year period of 2021-22.

11.2 As brought out earlier, Para 6 of the MOS letter dated 11 July, 2018 on stressed PPP project which states, that whenever issue of abnormal storage charges emerges in stressed projects as defined in the said MOS letter, the Ports may approach TAMP under the provisions of "Amendments, modification or alternations" to the terms and conditions of the concession agreement with an appropriate proposal for rationalization of storage charges in consultation with concessionaires so as to achieve the ARR as per the relevant TAMP original tariff Order. The AMPTPL has filed the proposal increasing the free period from existing 15 days to 25 days and proposed that the rationalized storage charge for the third slab i.e. 26th to 30th day shall be at Rs. 2.95 per tonne per day, 31st to 35th day shall be Rs. 4.42 per tonne per day and from 36th day onwards Rs. 5.91 per tonne per day for the year 2021-22 under the stressed PPP project. The AMPTPL has stated that, though they have agreed to increase the free period from existing 15 days to 25 days, the rate of Rs. 68.87 per tonne per day beyond 25 days is very high, they have never been able to collect storage charges or recover any storage charges since inception till date, for the reason that the Storage Charges under the538 OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA SERIES II No. 21 24TH AUGUST, 2023 Upfront Tariff and SOR are not commercially viable and if AMPTPL were to levy Storage Charges as per the SOR, the cargo handling business would simply move away from MPA to other competing ports. During the consultation process of this case, apart from AMPTPL, stakeholders/users also attended M/s. West Coast Paper Mills and M/s. Goa Carbon have also pointed out that, the proposed storage rate are on higher side as compared to other ports and have claimed that due to high storage charges, cargo is not coming to terminal.

The free period of storage of cargo is 15 days, which is too less as compared to other neighboring Ports where free period for storage of cargo is more as compared to Mormugao Port. M/s. Adani Enterprises Ltd. has not attended the joint hearing, but submitted their comments through letter.

11.3 Incidentally, the AMPTPL in their proposal dated 21-10-2022 has given calculation for storage charge based on certain assumptions of dwell time of cargo, cargo evacuation slab wise so as to achieve the ARR of Rs. 85.28 lakhs estimated in the original tariff Order of August 2008. None of the other users have objected to the same. That being so, and as pointed out by the users and AMPTPL that the existing storage charges of Rs. 68.87 per tonne is high, the Committee proposes to recommend the proposed rationalized storage charge for three slabs after 25 days free period viz. 26-30 days, 31-35 days and 36th day onwards as proposed by AMPTPL based on the calculation of the AMPTPL for the rationalizing storage charge to address the objection raised by the users and AMPTPL for the year 2021-22.

11.4. In the result, and for the reasons given above, and based on a collective application of mind, Mormugao Port Authority (MPA) approves the following:

I) Storage charge applicable as per existing Schedule 4 in the Order No. TAMP/13/2014-MPA dated 4 July, 2014 passed by TAMP notifying the SOR in the name of the AMPTPL is replaced with the following schedule for the year 2021-22 i.e. from 1 April, 2021 till 31 March, 2022:

(36th day onwards)

(i) Twenty five free days shall be allowed, after complete discharge of vessel's cargo. For the purpose of calculation of free period, customs notified holidays and Terminal's non-working days shall be excluded.

(ii) Storage charges shall be payable for all days including Terminal's non-working days and customs notified holidays for stay of cargo beyond the prescribed free days.

(iii) Storage charge on cargo shall not accrue for the period when the terminal operator is not in a position to deliver/ship the cargo when requested by the user due to reasons attributable to the terminal operator.

(iv) The above storage schedule shall be valid for a period of one year of 2021-22 i.e. from 1 April, 2021 till 31 March, 2022. From 1 April, 2022 onwards, the original storage schedule as approved in the Order dated 4 July, 2014 with appropriate indexation rates shall apply.

(v) The AMPTPL has full flexibility as regards extending higher free period than the prescribed level.

As regards revenue share payable by the BOT operator to the port, the MOS letter dated 11 July, 2018 on stressed PPP project prescribes the mechanism for payment of revenue share when the storage charge is rationalised i.e. reduced or free period is increased for stressed PPP project. The principle enumerated in the said letter is that the BOT operator shall pay revenue share at the agreed rate (i.e. 20% revenue share) as per the Concession Agreement on the actual revenue from storage charge or revenue share calculated on the ARR from the storage charge estimated in the original Order (i.e. Rs. 85.28 lakhs) after applying applicable annual indexation, whichever is higher.

The proposal for rationalization of storage charge in the Order No. TAMP/13/2014-MPA dated 4 July, 2014 for a period of one year of 2021-22 is treated as disposed of. Further, the representation of Adani Murmugao Port Terminal Pvt. Ltd. (AMPTPL) dated 20-07-2021 and proposal dated 21-10-2022 and dated 16-04-2023 on the same matter are also treated as disposed of.
