TO MEET GROWING DEMAND FOR SUPPORTING INDIA'S RAPID GROWTH PARTICULARLY IN SECTORS LIKE—POWER,RAILWAY,COAL,PORT,SHIPPING ECT.PORTS HAVE TO PLAY A MAJOR ROLE FOR IMPORTING AND EXPORTING OF THE VARIUOS RAW/FINISHED MATERIALS.UNLESS OUR PORTS ARE EQUIPPED WITH LATEST STATE OF ART INFRASTRUCTURE, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO ACHIVE THE GOAL.
Infrastructure At Ports—
There are 11 major port with 148 minor ports in India.
Ports are congested and inefficient infrastructure-. Port traffic has more than doubled during the 1990s, touching 385 million tons in 2001-02. This is expected to grow further to about 1000 million tons by 2011-12.
For unloading and loading of the material from A ship at a faster rate to reduce SHIP TURNAROUD TIME,the port should equipped with following facilities/infrastructure---
1.High efficiency Unloading/loading system at Berths with backup facilities like
2.High speed conveying system.
3.Storage of the material in mega Dome silos equipped with faster feeding and extraction systems
4.High speed dispatch system in railway wagons- Like Rapid Loading System @6000 tph.
In our drawng no. M-01,(Can be send on request) we have tried to show how a MEGA TERMINAL with high efficiency equipment/systems can be designed to suit the present requirement.
This MEGA TERMINAL has capacity to import material like coal,coke,ironore and grain ect. @ 60,000 tpd to 1,25000 tpd and side by side export of the material like-ore,minerals ect. can be done by rturn conveyor @40,000 to 1,00,00 tpd.
FUTURE REQUIREMENT OF VARIOUS SECTORS
Power: The generation of power has increased impressively in recent years. In 1990-91, India generated 6.6 billion kilowatt hour of electricity; in 1995-96 the figure was 380.1 billion kilowatt hour. The installed capacity, which was 1400 MW at Independence in 1947, has crossed 83,288 MW. The policy of inviting private sector has been well received; about 140 offers that can generate over 60,000 MW of power have came in.
Coal: Coal is the primary source for power generation in India. The country has huge reserves of coal, approximately 197 billion tonnes. A sufficient amount of lignite (brown coal used in thermal power stations) is also available with reserves of 300 billion tonnes.
India produced about 270 million tonnes of coal in 1995-96. The government now welcomes private investment in the coal sector, allowing companies to operate captive mines and Increase this to7- 800 million tones.
Railways: With a total route length of 63,000 km and a fleet of 7,000 passenger and 4,000 goods trains, the Indian Railways is the second largest network in the world. It carries more than 4,000 million passengers per year and transports over 390 million tonnes of freight every year. Very soon the freight is going to increase over 600 million, Indian Railway is coming up with incentives for faster turn around of the rackes. In the case of loading of COAL,IRON ORE AND LIGNITE ECT. ,there is a necessity to provide HIGH CAPAPCITY RAPID LOADING SYSTEMS to load this various materials at MINE ENDS and at SHIP UNLOADING POINTS/STACKYARD AREAS.Earlier, Indian Railway use to give 6-8 hours for loading of a racke,but now the same can be done in ONE HOUR, by providing efficient reclaiming system together with RAPID LOADING SYSYTEM.
Shipping: The natural advantage of a vast coastline requires India to use sea transport for the bulk of cargo transport. Following the policy of liberalisation, the Indian shipping industry, major ports, as also national highways and water transport have been thrown open to the private sector.
Shipping activity is buoyant and the number of ships registered under the Indian flag has reached 471. The average age of the shipping fleet in India is 13 years, compared to 17 years of the international shipping fleet. India is also among the few countries that offer fair and free competition to all shipping companies for obtaining cargo. There is no cargo reservation policy in India.
According to the India infrastructure Report (IIR), currently 5.5 percent of the GDP is invested in the infrastructure sector. This needs to be increased to 7 percent within the next three years and 8 per cent by 2005-06, by which time the annual level of investment in infrastructural facilities is projected to treble or rise even more, from the current level of Rs. 6000 billion by 2005-2006.
The total infrastructure investment requirements for the next five years again have been estimated in the report at about Rs. 4000-4500 billions.
