Ennore Port will shortlist only six
bidders to submit financial bids for the facility, which are likely to be
finalised by June 2008. After shortlisting of bidders, RfPs and investment
documents will be sent for PPP approval to the Cabinet and the finance ministry.
The port, which will have an annual
capacity of 1.5 million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) is likely to
commence work within the next six to seven months. The terminal is likely to
start operations by mid-2011.
The port is also planning to build a
four-lane road linking the new terminal with NH-V. The National Highways
Authority of India (NHAI) has prepared the project report and is awaiting
shipping ministry's clearance.
