4. Construction of 6-lane Link Road connecting from KK Road to NH-8A

 Railway Connectivity Projects
 Upgradation of rail network inside cargo jetty area
The old infrastructure of Port inside yard was very old and outlived its life resulted in
derailment and detention of rolling stocks. Due to up-gradation of Rail infrastructure the
evacuation of Rail bound cargo has become fast and easy. This new infrastructure has
enhanced handling and evacuation capacity of port and also fulfill one of the mandates of DFC
compliant track in DPA.
The project is completed.
 Providing Rail Connectivity to Berth No. 13 to 16 from take-off point to West End of
Berth

Ministry of Ports Shipping and Waterways, the Jetty will increase the handling capacity and
fulfil the requirement of future projections. Capacity addition of 2 MTPA. Handle Large Size of
Vessel around 65000 DWT.
 Construction of Oil Jetty No. 8 at Old Kandla
Existing oil jetties are fully utilized and additional berth capacity is required to achieve
growth in liquid cargo traffic. Capacity addition of 3.5 MTPA. Handle Large Size of Vessel
around 80000 DWT. Fulfill the users demand by handling various types of Cargoes i.e. LPG,
Edible and chemicals Oils etc. Berth Waiting Period Shall Be Reduced and will provide various
direct & indirect Employment Generation, and likely to be completed by October 2023
 Development of Container Terminal at Tuna Tekra, Deendayal Port on PPP/BOT
The proposed project aims to bring significant benefits to the port, including a reduction in
congestion and an improvement in efficiency parameters. By accommodating larger vessels,
the port can increase its capacity to handle container cargo, which is essential for catering to
the growing demand and competing with other ports. The existing terminal has limitations,
as it can only handle vessels with a maximum draft of 14 meters, which can only be navigated
during high tide due to bar restrictions. The project will enable the port to improve container
cargo throughput by accommodating larger vessels, thus increasing its capacity to handle
more cargo efficiently, LOA issued to M/s Hindustan Infralog Pvt. Ltd. (DP World).

Development of Multipurpose Cargo Berth Off Tuna Tekra Outside Kandla Creek at
Kandla on PPP/ BOT basis
The project of establishing a dedicated cargo handling facility that is equipped with state-ofthe-art machinery can yield significant benefits. These benefits include a reduction in loading
and unloading times, resulting in decreased costs associated with handling. The project is
currently in tendering stage
 Development of Oil Jetty No.09, 10, 11 at Deendayal Port Authority
To meet the growing demand of POL, LPG & other Liquids, DPT is proposing to develop an
offshore T Shape 3 Nos Oil Jetties that will be able to cater vessels up to 80000 DWT for
Loading and Unloading of all types of Liquid Cargo.

Augmentation and Upgradation
 Revamping of Pipelines
Project is to rationalize the number & size of pipelines and to augment the capacity of oil
jetties OJ1 to OJ5 and to implement & operationalize the common pipeline corridor till Y
junction inside the oil Jetty area. Rationalization to increase the discharge rate, faster loading
/ unloading and reduction in waiting time. Augmenting capacity from 8 MTPA to 23.8 MTPA
by revamping of existing pipeline network.
 Construction of Dome Shaped Storage Sheds Phase-I and Phase-2
This dome shaped storage shed can provide unobstructed clear span of 30 m. and height of 8
to 12 m. which is suitable for unloading the bulk cargo through hydraulic system by
trucks/transport vehicles of fifth generation carrying about 60-70 MTs of cargo. Stability of
this structure is ensured based on arch principle without Truss, Purlins or intermediate
supports
 Development of plots, roads and SWD in 34-hectare area inside cargo jetty area
In order to fetch/attract the more business prospects and to get the direct benefit by way of
rented revenue and indirect benefit by way of various vessel related charges like wharfage
charges, demurrage charges and to attract more business by way of creating more storage
space it is very much necessary to improve the open storage capacity in port area , So for
betterment of storage of coal and other bulk cargo, it is essential to improve the kutcha area
by providing Road networking, development of plots, SWD and cable trench network, Toilet
blocks, Rest shelter, watch towers etc.
 Upgradation of Plot No C1 to C6 and SWD in 66 Hectare area inside cargo jetty area
The Kutcha plot no C1 to C6 & SWD network of 66 Hector area inside cargo jetty was
completed on 30/11/2006. Since the completion of the work no any major up-gradation/
repairing work has been initiated for these Plots & SWD, Kutcha plots are used for storage of
wooden logs since last fifteen years The SWD of the said area is also in worsened condition
due to saline atmosphere, To overcome the situation and provide a level platform for cargo
storage/ handling, it is necessary to upgrade these plots by giving proper camber so that the
water can’t ne accumulated in plots and drained out as per gradient from plots the project
was introduced and work of the same is under progress
 Modification & strengthening of Bunder basin berthing structure at DPA
Due to continuous and extensive use of the structure it is observed that the structure has
been damaged at various locations as well as the backup area i.e. stacking yards also have been settled badly. Hence, it was essential to upgrade and strengthens the structure of Bunder Basin to safe-guard and safe berthing of Barges. After completion of the Project it will be benefitting in enhancing life of structure, seamless loading and unloading operation with Safe Port Operation, Continuous stacking of material on developed stack yard without settlement.
 Retrofitting of cargo berth no. 8 & 9 (Panel No. 66 to 76)
Due to continuous operation and movement of heavy cranes for loading and unloading
operations and observed that there is a weakening of the structure. Hence, retrofitting work
has been proposed for safely Port operation, after completing of this facility the life
expectancy of structures will be increased, the facility will be capable for handling bigger
ships and bigger cranes with safe port operations.
 RFID Based Access Control System
DPA Kandla has augmented full automation of Gate Operation at Port to initiated RFID (Radio
Frequency Identification) Based Access Control System “e-Drishti”. In addition to more than
510+ CCTV High Definition Cameras at Kandla, Gandhidham, Gopalpuri & Vadinar
 5G Pilot Projects at DPA
Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) in association with Deendayal Port Authority
(DPA) launched a 1st pilot project amongst major ports “5th Generation (5G) Small Cell and
Aerial Fiber deployment with DPA’s existing Street Furniture” on dated 29th April, 2022.

Small Cell are equipment which will be deployed for upcoming 5G networks. It uses higher
frequencies spectrum to provide ultra-high broadband speed and are placed closer to user so
that to provide quick responses to user’s request. Street furniture are used to denote things
like electric poles, bus stand, traffic lights etc

The pilot will help in understanding challenges in 5G small cell deployment at Indian ports.
Hundreds of 5G Small Cells are needed to be installed in a square KM of area to provide good
coverage. Use of Street furniture already available at ports like poles etc. can be used for
mounting these 5G Small Cells, obviating the need for erecting thousands of new towers. This
will not only ensure faster deployment of 5G but also unlock true potential of underutilized
street furniture at ports. Ports, using these highly reliable 5G networks will be able to launch
Enterprise Solutions which will in turn help them to compete with best of international ports.
