BACKGROUND Karnataka has an industrial growth rate of 12% per year. Factors for rapid growth

-Sustainable economic growth-Government thrust on private participation

in development of infrastructure sector. Government of Karnataka identify different

projects for development of the state. Tadadi port in Karnataka is one among them.

CONTD.

Preliminary step: projects amenability for development

under public private partnership frame work.

If the project is found feasible, detailed report including detail technical studies should be worked out for the same.

Infrastructure Development Corporation Limited was awarded the mandate for undertaking the feasibility study.

RATIONAL PLANNING STEP TO ACHIEVE FEASIBILITY STUDY OF TADADI PORT

1. Problem Diagnosis 2. Goal Articulation3. Forecasting4. Design of

Alternatives5. Testing 6. Evaluation7. Implementation

1. PROBLEM DIAGNOSIS

Un availability of major port -No major ports in the range of < 300kms Transportation cost and travel time

- transporting production materials from production place to the port increase

travel time and freight charges - productivity of the region; more raw

materials like iron ore

CONTD. Less capacity of the minor ports to

import and export materials - Karwar and Belekeri handles not

more than 9 million tones per year Bad connectivity of cargo movement

from the port to the hinterland - no railway connectivity (nearest

station is 25km away) - no direct high way access

2. GOAL ARTICULATION

Reason for developing Tadadi port

- for easy cargo movement to the port, connectivity to the hinterland is critical factor

- to reduce the transportation cost and travel time from production place to the port

- to increase the cargo handling capacity

CONTD. Achievement after completion of the port

- Modernization; change in life style of the local community - Industrialization; more facilities more the industries and production companies - to stimulate private sector investment in industrial and commercial area- to ensure the availability of pool of labour with range of skills to meet the needs of economic activities in the area

3. FORECASTING To predict the impacts of the natural

development of the project Increase in cargo i.e., Cargos forecasting -Proposed govt. projects (hydropower, cement

factory etc) -Widening of road -Interest of private sector like JSW -Expansion of near by major ports Industry growth potential- Employment growth

Multinational manufacturers/ Small or Medium firms Population forecasting: City is in young

category

CONTD.. Increase in ships Requirement of storage Extra berth for increased cargo More cargo handling equipment Leads development in two phases

Phase1-With current infrastructure like rails, roads, industries

Phase 2-With change in infrastructure like widening of roads

4. DESIGN OF ALTERNATIVES Alt. 1-Karwar port-

-Waterfront area-low-Available depth-6.5m-Type-All weather intermediate

Alt. 2-Belekeri port -Captive port Alt.3-Tadadi port

-Waterfront area-fair - land development -govt. have 1854

acres near to this

C0NTD. Alt. 4-Development of available any of

two ports to meet demand Criteria for the selection Less impact on nearby property like

acquisition of residential property More water front area and depth Improve long term shipping operation

and safety Avoid impacts on adjacent property like

near beaches

CONTD.. Improve traffic operation, condition and

safety Select Tadadi port according to the

criteria; tadadi port fulfill most of the requirement.

5. PLAN TESTING Plans are tested to evaluate the degree to

which objectives are fulfilled and constraints are violated.

o Objectives: Connectivity issues-Minimization of traffic

diversion-During construction-During operation-Roads and railway

• Roads:• NH 63-NH17=18.06(current),38.25mtpa(Future) In plain terrain mostly, forest section 78 km Mostly two laned and 30% stretch is 4 laned

CONTD..• NH 4-SH69-NH17=9.56mtpa/17mtpa Forest section-11km, SH 69- intermediate(5.5-7m wide)• Technical issues-Aghanashimi river

prone to silting• Sectoral transfer-Mining->power/steel Investment, Production & Employment

growth Available water front area and depth Ship traffic operation and safety

CONTD.. Constraints:• Finance-Feasible for investment by

private bodies due to large industrial activity and its growth potential

• Public relation-about 20-30% are involved in fishery ,favors

• Land- acquired in past

6. EVALUATION AND CHOICE6.1 Environmental Evaluation Due to port location Effect on communities because of losing

agriculture and housing land Erosion and accretion Changes current patterns and littoral

drifts Affects aquatic fauna and flora and also

contamination on bottom part of water

CONTD. During port construction Infrastructure like roads, railways and

water ways Water supply drainage and electrical

power Pile driving, deposition of rubble

dredging Re-suspension of sediments and turbid

water Dredging may causes changes current

patterns and flows

CONTD. Disposal of dredged material on land

cause leakage of harmful substance into ground water

Dredging disturb bottom sediments Dredging causes loss of fishery resource Dredging removes bottom biota Emission of dust and gases from

equipment

CONTD. Noise and vibration because of

equipment Disposal of dredged material causes

destruction of plants, loss of vegetation & leakage of bad material

During port operation Ship traffic and discharges may cause

environmental concerns Water pollution; spills of soils, lubricants,

fuels and other oily liquids

CONTD. Accidental spills of toxic harmful materials Leakage of oils will affect fishery resource,

aquatic biota Noise and vibration during cargo handling 6.2 Socio and Political Evaluation Due to port location Relocation of local community Damages fishing nets and navigation Change cultural traditions of local

community

CONTD. During port operation Oil and oily wastes of ship spoil

recreational activities cause serious damage of to tourism

Ship traffic may disturb boat cruising and fishery boat operation

Changes life style of local people Labor from outside may cause conflict

with local community

CONTD. 6.3 Economical Evaluation During port construction More job opportunity Using local materials for construction During port operation More production gives high economic

beneficial implementation of the Suvarna

Karnataka development corridor program for industrial development

CONTD. Government of Karnataka propose to

develop 10 special industrial zones; direct impact on trade, industry and economic of the country

Numerical contribution to the GDP and acts an economic multiplier

7. IMPLEMENTATION Project fund

-Project could be funded DEBT equity ratio with 2.33:1-Interest for the loan is12.5%

Environmental -Further study will be done by concerned body (environmental evaluation and impact assessment)

Political authorization-After all the required study government office will authorize whether to proceed with the project.

Recommendation for the next stage
