## Report on Extension of Validity of Rate Structure for Gandhidham Township Land of Deendayal Port Trust
**1. Executive Summary:**
This report analyzes a notification issued by the Tariff Authority for Major Ports (TAMP) regarding the extension of the validity of the existing rate structure for Gandhidham Township Land of Deendayal Port Trust (DPT). This is an amendment to the existing rate structure, extending its validity from January 1, 2021, to June 30, 2021, or until the notification of revised lease rentals based on a future tariff proposal, whichever is earlier. The core purpose is to avoid a vacuum while DPT prepares a proposal for revising lease rent for the period beyond December 31, 2018. The key finding is that the existing rate structure with a 2% annual escalation will continue to apply during this extension period.
**2. Introduction:**
The purpose of this report is to provide an informative overview of the notification extending the validity of the rate structure for Gandhidham Township Land of DPT, based solely on the provided policy text.
**3. Policy Overview:**
* This report concerns an amendment to the existing rate structure for Gandhidham Township Land of DPT.
* **Core Objective:** To temporarily extend the validity of the existing rate structure for Gandhidham Township Land of DPT, preventing a lapse in applicable rates while a new rate structure is being developed.
**4. Background and Rationale:**
This amendment addresses the issue of the existing rate structure for Gandhidham Township Land expiring on December 31, 2020, while the proposal for revision of lease rent beyond December 31, 2018, is still under development. The extension ensures continuity and avoids a situation where no approved rate structure is in place. The stated rationale is to prevent a "vacuum" in the current scenario.
**5. Key Provisions / Changes:**
This document details an amendment, and the key change is:
* **Specific Part of Original Policy Changed:** The amendment extends the *validity period* of the existing rate structure.
* **New Rule/Provision:** The revised lease rent as approved by TAMP vide Order No.TAMP392020DPT dated March 16, 2021, is extended from January 1, 2021, until June 30, 2021, or until the date of effect of notification of the revised lease rentals based on the tariff proposal to be filed by the DPT for the period beyond December 31, 2018, whichever is earlier.
* **Difference/Effect of Change:** Without this amendment, the previous rate structure would have expired, creating uncertainty. This extension ensures that a known (albeit temporary) rate structure remains in effect, providing stability. Importantly, the annual escalation of 2% continues to apply during the extended period.
**6. Target Audience and Stakeholders:**
The primary target audience and stakeholders are:
* Deendayal Port Trust (DPT)
* Residents and businesses leasing land in Gandhidham Township from DPT, who will be subject to the extended rate structure.
* The Tariff Authority for Major Ports (TAMP)
**7. Implementation Aspects (Inferred):**
* **Responsible Agency/Bodies:** The Tariff Authority for Major Ports (TAMP) is responsible for issuing the notification and overseeing the implementation. Deendayal Port Trust (DPT) is responsible for applying the extended rate structure and filing the proposal for revised lease rentals.
* **Timelines/Procedures:** The extension is valid from January 1, 2021, to June 30, 2021, or until the notification of the revised lease rentals. DPT is expected to file a proposal for revised lease rentals for the period beyond December 31, 2018. The 2% annual escalation should be applied to arrive at the lease rent as on January 1, 2021.
**8. Expected Outcomes / Impact of Changes:**
The intended outcome of this amendment is to maintain a consistent and predictable framework for lease rentals in Gandhidham Township while the DPT develops a revised rate structure. The application of the 2% annual escalation provides a mechanism for adjusting the rates during the extension period. The impact is primarily on those leasing land within the Gandhidham Township, who will continue to pay lease rentals based on the existing structure with the specified escalation.
**9. Conclusion:**
The notification extending the validity of the rate structure for Gandhidham Township Land of DPT is a temporary measure designed to maintain stability and prevent a lapse in applicable rates. It ensures that lease rentals continue to be collected based on a known framework while the DPT finalizes its proposal for a revised rate structure. This amendment is significant because it provides continuity and avoids uncertainty for both the DPT and those leasing land in Gandhidham Township.

TARIFF AUTHORITY FOR MAJOR PORTS
NOTIFICATION
Mumbai, the 19th April 2021
No.TAMP/39/2020-DPT.—In exercise of the powers conferred by Section 49 of the Major Port Trusts Act,
1963 (38 of 1963), the Tariff Authority for Major Ports hereby extends the validity of the existing rate structure for
Gandhidham Township land of Deendayal Port Trust (DPT) as in the Order appended hereto.
TARIFF AUTHORITY FOR MAJOR PORTS
Case No.TAMP/39/2020-DPT
Deendayal Port Trust - - - Applicant
QUORUM:
(i). Shri. T.S. Balasubramanian, Member (Finance)
(ii). Shri. Sunil Kumar Singh, Member (Economic)
O R D E R
(Passed on this 16th day of March 2021)
This case relates to a proposal filed by Deendayal Port Trust (DPT) for extension of the validity of the rate structure
for Gandhidham Township Land of DPT.
2. The validity of the existing rate structure for Gandhidham Township Land of DPT was last extended based on
the request of DPT vide Order No.TAMP/20/2010-KPT dated 07 September 2020 from the date of expiry till 31
December 2020 or till the date of effect of notification of the revised lease rentals based on the tariff proposal filed by
the DPT, whichever is earlier. The said extension was granted with annual escalation @2% on the rates applicable as
on 31 December 2013.
3.1. Subsequently, the DPT has filed the proposal for revision of rate structure of Gandhidham Township land for
the period from 01 January 2014 upto 31 December 2018. The prescribed consultation process with stakeholders was
done and joint hearing with all concerned was held. This Authority vide Order No.TAMP/39/2020-DPT dated 16
March 2021 approved revised lease rent for Gandhidham Township land at DPT from 01 January 2014 upto 31
December 2018 as proposed by the Port. The revised lease rent approved by this Authority in the said Order is subject
to annual escalation @2% from 01 January 2015 till 31 December 2018. Hence, the lease rent applicable as on 31
December 2018 shall be revised lease rent approved by this Authority vide Order dated 16 March 2021. During the
proceedings of the said case, the DPT has stated that they shall file the proposal for revision of lease rent beyond 31
December 2018 separately. The DPT is yet to file the proposal for revision of rates of Gandhidham township land for
the period beyond 31 December 2018.
3.2. Filing of proposal by the DPT for the period beyond 31 December 2018 and processing of the case will take
some time and since the validity of the last extended rate structure for Gandhidham Township Land has expired on 31
December 2020, this Authority extends the validity of the revised lease rent as approved in the said Order dated 16
March 2021 from 01 January 2021 till 30 June 2021 or till the date of effect of notification of the lease rentals to be
approved based on the tariff proposal to be filed by the DPT for the period beyond 31st December 2018, whichever is
earlier as sought by DPT.
4.1. The amended Land Policy Guidelines of 2014 i.e. Policy Guidelines for Land Management 2015(PGLM 2015)
issued by the Government (based on which the rate structure for Gandhidham Township Land of DPT has been
revised by this Authority) stipulates that the lease rentals approved by this Authority shall be escalated by 2% per
annum till they are revised by this Authority. The revised rate structure prescribes annual escalation @ 2% in the
lease rentals till 31 December 2018 in line with the guidelines issued by the Government. That being so, the annual
escalation @2% may continue to apply during the extended validity period of the rate structure for Gandhidham
Township Land as proposed by the DPT. Thus, to arrive at the lease rent as on
01 January 2021, DPT needs to apply annual escalation @2% on the lease rent as on 31 December 2018 for each of
the years viz. 1 January 2019, 1 January 2020 and 1 January 2021.
4.2. It is to be noted in this regard that the extension of the revised lease rentals with an annual escalation of 2% is
only a provisional arrangement to avoid a vacuum in the current scenario. The lease rentals to be fixed for the
Gandhidham Township based on the proposal to be filed by the DPT in this regard will have to be given retrospective
effect, as requested by the DPT.4 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : EXTRAORDINARY [PART III—SEC.4]
5. In the result, and for the reasons given above, and based on the collective application of mind, this Authority
extends the validity of the revised lease rent for Gandhidham Township Land of DPT approved by this Authority vide
Order No.TAMP/39/2020-DPT dated 16 March 2021 for the period from 01 January 2021 till 30 June 2021 or till the
date of effect of notification of the revised lease rentals based on the tariff proposal to be filed by the DPT, whichever
is earlier.
