For the first time, Kamarajar Port Ltd (KPL) in Ennore will use the option of e-tender/e-auction to allot nearly 300 acres of land to the trade for creation of port-based facilities.
The port took over 648 acres of land from the Centre’s Salt Department for ₹480 crore. “Of this, we have earmarked around 300 acres to be given to the trade for purposes like open storage, liquid tank facility and warehouses,” MA Bhaskarachar, Chairman-cum-Managing Director, KPL, told BusinessLine .
Other major ports, including Chennai, have been taking up e-tender-cum-e-auction for various issues, he said.
On Monday, KPL held a workshop to ascertain the requirement of land, plot sizes and use for allotment on a lease basis for port-related utilisation.
Terminal operators, port users, exporters and importers, shipping agents and stevedores were among those who attended the workshop.
