1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Kandla Port is the busiest port of India and serves as the gateway for the trade
generating from/to the entire Northern India. In the terms of cargo handling, Kandla
Port has achieved the first position among all the Major Ports of India, in most of the
years in last decade. To enhance the cargo handling capacity and to handle bigger size
vessels, Kandla Port has long been focussing on various measures like adding the new
facilities, strengthening the existing facilities, etc.

from both technical and financial perspectives.
The Kandla Port has set up barge handling facility at Tuna (Outside Kandla Creek) for
evacuation of cargo from such vessels by lighterage through barges. Further, the
existing barge jetty with berth length 240 Mtrs. is being extended by 600 Mtrs (500 mtr
through BOT project and 100 mtr through captive project) to augment the handling
capacity of dry cargo.
The Pontoon jetty is located after the approach jetty on the left side on north. The

spend their wages locally on goods and services such as food, housing and clothing.
These jobs are held by residents located throughout the region, since they are estimated
based on local and regional purchases.

ITS SOURCE, ENERGY / POWER REQUIREMENT & SOURCE
The Gujarat Water Supply and Sewerage Board shall be responsible for developing and
managing various sources of water in the region. The important source of water is the
capacity reservoir of Tapar Dam, besides a number of deep tube wells.
Water is distributed to Kandla area from high service reservoir near Bhachau through
18” dia. CI mains, after chlorination. The capacities of the elevated water towers and
underground reservoirs at Kandla are 1500 KL and 14000 KL respectively. The average
daily consumption of water at Kandla area is estimated at around 1300 kl. The position
is improved to a great extent by tapping the source of water from Sardar Sarovar
Presently water is distributed to Tuna area through tankers as fulfilment demand of 5
KL per day. Total requirement of water is 200 MLD water supply is ensured by Gujarat
water supply Board. However, if situation arises provision is made for a standalone
water desalination plant at the zone. This is to be installed by private parties and
operated on commercial basis for SEZ area.
However this project requires only 450 KL of water per day.
Bulk power supply from PGVCL through seven 11 KV sub stations.

Railway
Broad gauge (BG) tracks directly connect the Port at New Kandla with the principal
cities of Bombay, Ahmadabad, Surat, Baro
through the route Ahmadabad
Palanpur - Ajmer to Delhi.
Apart from this, the existing meter gauge line from Bhildi to Samdari has been

Quay and Apron areas will be constructed away from the land, in the deep wat
to minimize the dredging requirement, forming the offshore section of the port. The
backup land will be reclaimed to accommodate the onshore portion of port. The
offshore portion will be connected to land side portion of the port with trestle. Th
side portion includes stacking and evacuation infrastructure i.e. rail yard and gate and
other utilities.
SNA jetty is primarily meant for parking of port crafts and no cargo handling activity is
carried out at this facility.
