During the concession time, the concessionaire may accommodate boats up to 18 metres deep by deepening/widening its approach channel, berth pocket, and turning circle.
Deendayal Port, one of India's 12 main ports, sits in Gujarat's Gulf of Kutch. The project will be constructed by a private developer/BOT operator chosen via international auction.
The concessionaire will design, engineer, finance, purchase, execute, commission, operate, manage, and maintain the project.
