The Mormugao Port Trust (MPT), Goa, has reportedly received bids from 14
companies for its proposed iron ore export terminal project 'West of Breakwater'
based on the PPP model. The estimated contract value is Rs 721 crore.
The companies include L&T, the Adani Group, the VM Salgaocar Group, the Essar
Group, the Lanco Group, MSPL, IMC, Gangavaram Port, Gammon India, Infrastructure
Leasing & Financial Services, the Jindal Group, Sterlite Industries, GVK and

The terminal which is likely to provide much needed mechanised facilities for
direct export of Karnataka's iron ore through MPT is to become operational by
March 2014.
