Executive Summary & Key Takeaways

## Report on Amendment Regarding Storage Charges at Visakhapatnam Port Trust **1. Executive Summary:** This report analyzes an amendment related to storage charges at Visakhapatnam Port Trust (VPT), specifically concerning the Vizag General Cargo Berth Pvt. Ltd. (VGCBPL). The amendment extends the rationalized storage charges, previously approved, for a further period of one year, from January 21, 2021, to January 20, 2022. This decision is based on the project being classified as a "stressed PPP project" according to Ministry guidelines. The key finding is the extension aims to improve capacity utilization at the VGCBPL facility by maintaining reduced storage charges. **2. Introduction:** This report provides an overview and analysis of a government policy amendment concerning storage charges at the Visakhapatnam Port Trust (VPT). The analysis is based solely on the provided policy text. The report aims to inform stakeholders about the specific changes introduced and their potential implications. **3. Policy Overview:** * **Original Policy Amended:** This document amends the storage schedule previously approved by the Tariff Authority for Major Ports (TAMP) under Order No. TAMP582008VPT dated January 11, 2013, and further amended by Order No. TAMP142020VPT dated June 1, 2020. * **Core Objective(s):** The core objective is to extend rationalized storage charges with the intent of improving capacity utilization at the VGCBPL facility. As per the Ministry guidelines, improving the viability of stressed Public-Private Partnership (PPP) projects at major ports. **4. Background and Rationale:** The amendment is motivated by the need to address the financial challenges faced by VGCBPL, which has been classified as a "stressed PPP project." The rationale for the amendment is based on VGCBPL's underutilization of capacity, continuous cash losses, and significant erosion of its net worth, meeting the criteria established by the Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways (MOPSW). The previous reduction in storage charges proved insufficient to bring project performance to a satisfactory level. **5. Key Provisions / Changes:** This amendment specifically focuses on extending the existing rationalized storage charges. * **Specific Part of Original Policy Changed:** The amendment extends the validity of the rationalized storage charges approved in Order No. TAMP142020VPT dated June 1, 2020. * **New Rule/Provision:** The new provision extends the applicability of the reduced storage charges for another year, from January 21, 2021, to January 20, 2022. The specific rates are to be indexed appropriately upon notification of the indexation factor by TAMP. * **Difference/Effect of Change:** This extension means that shippers and cargo owners utilizing the VGCBPL facility will continue to benefit from reduced storage charges for another year. This likely reduces the cost of using the facility and improves the financial situation for VGCBPL. **6. Target Audience and Stakeholders:** The target audience and stakeholders directly affected by this amendment include: * **Vizag General Cargo Berth Pvt. Ltd. (VGCBPL):** The terminal operator benefits from the continued rationalization of storage charges. * **Shipping Lines/Cargo Owners:** These entities benefit from the reduced storage charges, lowering their operational costs at the port. * **Visakhapatnam Port Trust (VPT):** VPT has an interest in ensuring the financial viability and efficient operation of the VGCBPL facility. **7. Implementation Aspects (Inferred):** * **Responsible Agency/Bodies:** * **Tariff Authority for Major Ports (TAMP):** TAMP is responsible for approving and notifying the amended storage charges and also responsible for notifying Indexation factor. * **Visakhapatnam Port Trust (VPT):** VPT is responsible for implementing the changes and ensuring compliance. * **Timelines/Procedures:** The amended rates were to be notified separately in the Gazette of India on November 1, 2021. **8. Expected Outcomes / Impact of Changes:** The likely intended outcome of this amendment is to improve the financial health of VGCBPL by incentivizing increased cargo throughput through reduced storage charges. This extension could lead to: * **Increased Capacity Utilization at VGCBPL:** Lower storage costs may attract more cargo, increasing the terminal's utilization rate. * **Improved Financial Performance of VGCBPL:** Increased cargo throughput, combined with reduced storage charges for users, could improve VGCBPL's revenue and reduce its financial losses. **9. Conclusion:** This amendment, which extends the rationalized storage charges at the VGCBPL facility within the Visakhapatnam Port Trust, represents a targeted effort to support a financially stressed PPP project. By maintaining reduced storage rates, the amendment seeks to incentivize increased cargo handling, ultimately improving the facility's capacity utilization and financial viability. This policy highlights the government's commitment to addressing the challenges faced by PPP projects and promoting efficient port operations.

No. Particulars FY 2019-20 FY 2018-19 1 Net Cash Losses incurred by the company (1.68) (2.29) 2 Net worth of the company 20.05 (11.47) (v) (a) The VGCBPL in its letter dated 22 October 2020 addressed to VPT (copy furnished by VPT) has stated that the losses incurred by the Concessionaire has caused 50% erosion of its peak net worth (`151.53 crores in 2012-13) during the operation period to `20.05 crores in the year 2019-20. (b) The cargo handled by VGCBPL in the last two preceding financial year and capacity utilization reported by VGCBPL based on VPT communication dated 5 November 2020 to VGCBPL is tabulated below: Particulars UOM 2018-19 2019-20 Volume as per Pre-bid model MMT 10.18 10.18 Actual Volume handled MMT 4.96 5.91 % of Actual volume (< 70%) % 49% 58% (vi) As resolved in VPT Board Meeting, M/s.VGCBPL submitted its proposal vide its letter dated 03 February 2021 to VPT for rationalization of storage charges beyond 20 January 2021, duly justifying the reasonableness thereon for consideration. The main points made by VGCBPL in its10 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : EXTRAORDINARY [PART III—SEC.4] letter dated 3 February 2021 to VPT are summarized below: (a) VGCBPL requests the port to continue the free storage period to 20 days similar to last year rationalization and the storage tariff should start from 21st day as per the TAMP notified rates from time to time. (b) Accordingly, the proposed tariff would be as follows (like last year): Sl. Particulars Units Current SOR Proposed No. (without SOR rationalization) 1. Berth Hire Charges `/ GRTH 0.883 0.883 * 2. Cargo Handling Charges `/ MT 178.08 178.08 * 3. Storage Charges (0-10 days) `/ MT per day No Charges No Charges 4. Storage Charges (11-15 days) `/ MT per day 2.13 No Charges 5. Storage Charges (16-20 days) `/ MT per day 4.27 No Charges 6. Storage Charges 21st Day onwards `/ MT per day 8.53 * 7. Misc. charges (charges for sweeping, dust `/ MT 1.82 * suppression and environment, etc.) * Subject to change as per TAMP revision from time to time. (c) Further, the current vs. proposed royalty on Storage charges would be as under: Sl. Particulars Units Current royalty (without Proposed royalty No. rationalization) 1. Storage Charges (0-10 days) `/ MT per day No royalty No royalty 2. Storage Charges (11-15 days) `/ MT per day 38.1% of Gross revenue 1% of ARR 3. Storage Charges (16-20 days) `/ MT per day 38.1% of Gross revenue 4. Storage Charges 21st Day `/ MT per day 38.1% of Gross revenue Royalty equal to 38.1% on onwards actual storage charges recovered or 1% of ARR whichever is higher. (d) The VPT is requested to support VGCBPL in obtaining such orders in consultation with the TAMP in such a way so as to achieve the ARR as specified in the 2008 tariff guidelines. Also, a suitable amendment in the Concession Agreement is to be made for giving effect of MOPSW guidelines for the change in revenue share pattern in Storage charges under the article 21.9 of the Concession Agreement (as proposed by VPT Board) for the last two years and the current year. (e) Justification for extension of benefits of rationalisation: (i) The free storage period offered is 10 days as per the TAMP approved 2008 tariff guidelines. This was part of upfront tariff fixed by TAMP vide its Order dated 27 November 2009. The same was decided at the time of bidding based on the market dynamics prevailing at that time. Whereas, in actual practice, it is observed that the current market dynamics are completely different than those which were thought of in 2009. (ii) As against the above, the current dwell time of vessels is ranging from 40 to 50 days. Basing the past trend of dwell time only, it had been mutually agreed by both the Concessionaire and Concessioning authority to extend the free period up to 20 days. In similar lines, VGCBPL requests to consider the same and continue the same for the current year rationalization also. (iii) Further, though VGCBPL are in the 8th year of commercial operations, the project had not made any profits for the past 8 years and the entire loan is still outstanding. Even after getting the rationalization benefit, the project performance was not up to satisfactory level which has been detailed as follows:[भाग III—खण् ड 4] भारत का रािपत्र : असाधारण 11 (a) Last year discharge volume is 5.91 MMT against VGCBPL EC approved limit of 10.18 MMT. (b) VGCBPL had made cash losses of `1.68 crores in the last year. A copy of financials for FY 19-20 have already been submitted to VPT. (c) VGCBPL entire net worth has gone into negative last year due to continuous losses since inception of the project. (f) In view of the above situation, VGCBPL requests to continue the rationalization benefit for the second year as well as in the interest of project which is a major contributor for VPT Ex-chequer. (g) VGCBPL has furnished a Certificate dated 21 October 2020 from its Chartered Accountant showing cash losses and net worth of VGCBPL. VGCBPL has also furnished VPT letter dated 05 November 2020 to VGCBPL for the years 2018-19 and 2019-20. As regards traffic handled by VGCBPL in the years 2018-19 and 2019-20, the VPT letter dated 5 November 2020 is furnished. (vii) The VPT has proposed the following rationalized storage charge for a period of one year beyond 20 January 2021 as proposed by VGCBPL to VPT for consideration of TAMP: Sl. Particulars Units Current Proposed No. Scale of Scale of Rates Rates 1. Storage charges 0-10 days `/ MT per day No Charges No Charges 2. Storage charges 11-15 days `/ MT per day 2.13 No Charges 3. Storage charges 16-20 days `/ MT per day 4.27 No Charges 4. Storage charges 21st day onwards `/ MT per day 8.53 8.53 (viii) The proposal submitted by M/s.VGCBPL is in line with the recommendations of the Committee constituted by the MOPSW communicated vide letter dated 11 July 2018. (ix) The VPT has, therefore, requested to consider the proposal submitted by M/s.VGCBPL for rationsation of storage charges to improve the capacity utilization of VGCBPL facility. The VPT has also requested to approve and notify the revised storage schedule for the VGCBPL facility at the earliest to take effect from 21.01.2021 (3rd consecutive year) for a period of one more year i.e. up to 20.01.2022. (x) The above schedule will be made applicable from 21.01.2021 till 31.03.2021 upon approval from TAMP. The storage schedule from 01.04.2021 till 20.01.2022 shall be appropriately indexed upon notification of indexation factor by TAMP. Accordingly, the VPT has requested to include the above in the approval and notification. 5.1. The MOS vide its e-mail dated 11 July 2018 has issued the letter No.PD-13/1/2018-PPP Cell dated 11 July 2018 regarding Stressed PPP project along with copy of report of the Committee chaired by Chairman, IPA on the issues pertaining to Stressed PPP projects. 5.2. The said letter states that the MOS has formed a Committee under the Chairmanship of Chairman IPA to take timely decision on port issues i.e. stressed PPP project and issues such as MGT, Permissions, Port charges, Storage charges etc. of PPP users. The said committee after detailed examination of various issues including the issue of storage charges faced in the PPP projects of various major ports has submitted its report to the MOS. The said Committee has recommended the following criteria for classification of PPP project as “Stressed Projects”: (a) The project is sub optimally utilised as evidenced by the actual cargo handled by the operator during two preceding financial years being less than 70% of the projection as per DPR/Feasibility report forming part of the bid document and (b) Project SPV incurring cash loss continuously for two preceding financial years and (c) That the losses incurred by concessionaire has caused atleast 50% erosion of its peak Net Worth during the operation period. 5.3. Para 6 of the MOS letter dated 11 July 2018 states that whenever issue of abnormal storage charges emerges in stressed projects as defined in the MOS letter, the Ports may approach TAMP under the provisions of “Agreements,12 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : EXTRAORDINARY [PART III—SEC.4] modification or alternations” to the terms and conditions of the concession agreement with an appropriate proposal for rationalization of storage charges in consultation with concessionaire so as to achieve the ARR as per the TAMP guidelines/ notification.

These details will also be made available at our website http://tariffauthority.gov.in. 10. With reference to the totality of the information collected during the processing of the case, the following position emerges: (i) The proposal of the Visakhapatnam Port Trust (VPT) seeks approval of this Authority for further extension of rationalised storage charge approved by this Authority vide Order No.TAMP/14/2020- VPT dated 01 June 2020 amending the storage schedule approved vide Order No.TAMP/58/2008- VPT dated 11 January 2013 notifying Scale of Rates (SOR) in the name of Vizag General Cargo Berth Pvt. Ltd. (VGCBPL) for mechanized handling of coking coal and steam coal at General Cargo Berth of VPT in pursuance of MOPSW (Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways) (the then Ministry of Shipping) letter No.PD-13/1/2018-PPP Cell dated 11 July 2018. (ii) The current proposal of VPT is taken up for processing because it is filed in pursuance of the MOPSW letter dated 11 July 2018 to the Major Port Trusts as regards the stressed PPP project. The MOPSW, in its letter dated 11 July 2018, has prescribed the following three criteria for classification of PPP project as Stressed Projects by Major Port Trusts: (a) The project is sub optimally utilised as evidenced by the actual cargo handled by the operator during two preceding financial years being less than 70% of the projection as per DPR/Feasibility report forming part of the bid document and (b) Project SPV incurring cash loss continuously for two preceding financial years and (c) That the losses incurred by concessionaire has caused atleast 50% erosion of its peak Net Worth during the operation period. Para 7 of the said MOPSW letter dated 11 July 2018 directs the Major ports to adopt the prescribed procedure and review the situation periodically for optimum utilisation of the facility created. (iii) As brought out in earlier, the Board of Trustees of VPT, vide its Board Meeting No.4 of 2020-21 held on 29 December 2020, has reviewed the VGCBPL proposal and has classified the VGCBPL project as Stressed Project as it meets the three criteria prescribed in the MOPSW letter dated 11 July 2018 for categorisation of the PPP project as stressed. The details considered by the VPT Board for classification of VGCBPL project as stressed is brought out in the earlier paragraphs and hence not reiterated for the sake of brevity. The underutilisation of capacity below 70% is supported by the VPT letter and the cash loss for preceding two years 2018-19 and 2019-20 and erosion of net worth of at least 50% is supported by the Certificate from practicing Chartered Accountant furnished by VGCBPL and considered by the Board of Trustees of the VPT. The same is relied upon. The Board of Trustees of VPT has approved to consider the proposal of VGCBPL for extension of reduced storage charge beyond 20 January 2021 for a period of one year. (iv) In view of the above position and recognizing that the proposal filed by the VPT is based on the approval of the Board of Trustees of the VPT and fulfills the three criteria prescribed in the MOPSW letter dated 11 July 2018 on the Stressed Project and the proposal is for extension of rationalised storage charges approved by this Authority vide Order No.TAMP/14/2020-VPT dated 01 June 2020 after applicable annual indexation and is mutually accepted by both the parities i.e. VPT and VGCBPL and also recognizing that it intended to utilize the project facilities optimally by rationalising storage charges, this Authority is inclined to approve the current proposal of the port for extension of the rationalised storage charge approved by this Authority in the Order dated 01 June 2020 for a further period of one year i.e. from 21 January 2021 to 20 January 2022.14 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : EXTRAORDINARY [PART III—SEC.4] (v) The Order dated 01 June 2020 prescribed four conditionalities under the schedule of amended storage charge. The same conditionality shall continue to be prescribed in this Order except for modification done in note no.(iv) Note (iv) as regards validity of amended storage schedule approved by this Authority is prescribed for the period of one year from 21 January 2021 till 20 January 2022. 11. In the result, and for the reasons given above, and based on a collective application of mind, this Authority approves the proposal of VPT for extension of the rationalised storage charge approved by this Authority vide Order No.TAMP/14/2020-VPT dated 01 June 2020 for terminal operated by VGCBPL for a further period of one year w.e.f. 20 January 2021 till 20 January 2022. Accordingly, the amended rates which have been notified separately in the Gazette of India on 01 November 2021 vide Gazette No.538 will be applicable under the Schedule 4 in Order approved by this Authority vide Order No.TAMP/58/2008-VPT dated 11 January 2013 notifying the SOR in the name of the VGCBPL.
