TARIFF AUTHORITY FOR MAJOR PORTS
NOTIFICATION
Mumbai, the 8th May, 2019
No.TAMP/20/2010-KPT.—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

TARIFF AUTHORITY FOR MAJOR PORTS
Case No.TAMP/20/2010-KPT
Deendayal Port Trust - - - Applicant
QUORUM:
(i). Shri T.S. Balasubramanian, Member (Finance)
(ii). Shri Rajat Sachar, Member (Economic)
ORDER
(Passed on this 3rd day of May 2019)
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 18 January 2019 from the date of expiry till 31 March
2019 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.4 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : EXTRAORDINARY [PART III—SEC. 4]
3.1. Para 5.7 of Amended Land Policy Guidelines (LPG) 2014 states that the Policy is applicable for all Major Ports
except for land relating to the Township areas of DPT, Mumbai Port Trust (MBPT) and Kolkata Port Trust (KOPT) for
which separate policy will be formulated.
3.2. On a reference made to MOS in this regard, the MOS vide its letter no.8/(19)/2016-TAMP dated 02 August
2016 has informed that a proposal seeking approval of the Union Cabinet on Land relating to Gandhidham Township is
being prepared by the MOS. The MOS, therefore, requested this Authority to keep on hold the proposal dated 11 April
2016 of DPT for revision of rate structure of Gandhidham Township of DPT and take up after the MOS conveys the
policy in this regard. The policy from MOS in this regard is awaited.
3.3. Since the case was pending for disposal since April 2016 and also recognising that the case cannot be kept open
indefinitely, this Authority vide Order No.TAMP/25/2016-KPT dated 21 July 2017 closed the proposal dated 11 April
2016 of DPT. This Authority has held that the revised proposal as and when received from DPT based on new policy to
be communicated by MOS, will be treated afresh.
3.4. The Clarification Circular (Land Management) No.1 of 2018 issued by MOS vide letter No.PD-13017/2/2014-
PD-IV dated 14 May 2018 relating to issues on Policy Guidelines for Land Management, 2014 is not explicit whether
lease rent for Gandhidham Township at DPT is to be fixed by this Authority following para 13 of the amended Land
Policy Guidelines, 2014. Therefore, the MOS has been requested vide our letter No.TAMP/25/2016-KPT dated 20 July
2018 to advise us on the matter. This was followed by reminders dated 25 January 2019 and 06 February 2019. The
response of MOS is awaited.
4.1. Since the validity of existing rates of Gandhidham Township expired on 31 March 2019, the DPT has, now,
vide its letter dated 08 April 2019 requested this Authority to allow it to continue to charge at the existing rates for a
further period of 6 months i.e. upto 30 September 2019, subject to condition that revised rates will be made applicable
with retrospective effect.
4.2. In view of the above and since the validity of the rate structure for Gandhidham Township Land has expired on
31 March 2019, this Authority extends the validity of the existing rate structure of the Gandhidham township land from
the date of its expiry till 30 September 2019 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 as sought by DPT.
5.1. The Land Policy Guidelines of 2010 issued by the Government (based on which the rate structure for
Gandhidham Township Land has been fixed in April 2012) stipulates that the lease rentals approved by this Authority
shall be escalated by 2% per annum till they are revised by this Authority. The Order passed by this Authority in April
2012 also prescribes a specific condition in this regard. This condition also prevails in the amended Land Policy
Guidelines, 2014 issued by the Ministry of Shipping. Since, the existing Schedule of lease rent already prescribes annual
escalation @ 2% in the lease rentals till such time the rates are revised by this Authority and in line with the guidelines
issued by the Government, the annual escalation @ 2% will continue to apply during the extended validity period of the
rate structure for Gandhidham Township Land.
5.2. However, it is to be noted in this regard that the extension of the existing 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.
6. In the result, and for the reasons given above, and based on the collective application of mind, this Authority
extends the validity of the existing rate structure for Gandhidham Township Land from the date of its expiry till 30
September 2019 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.
