Rate hike approved for DP World’s container terminal

It has been reported in the Indian press that Dubai-based logistics company DP World has got approval from the rate regulator for India’s state-owned ports to raise tariffs by 64-93 per cent at its Nhava Sheva International Container Terminal (NSICT) at Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust (JNPT) near Mumbai.

Nhava Sheva International Container Terminal at Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust is run by the Dubai government-owned DP World. The report said the move is designed to “infuse life” into the commercially struggling terminal. 

The rates for laden containers unloaded from ship to yard and delivered by rail/road will rise 64 per cent, while storage charges for containers have been raised by 93 per cent.
