The terms of reference from The World Bank require the Author making recommendations to the Ministry of Finance (Department of Economic Affairs) with respect to alternative institutional and legal options for regulation of the port sector in India as well as analysing key considerations in the regulation of this sector and the way they are being addressed in the Indian Ports (Consolidated) Act, 2010, which has been drafted recently. This report is solution-oriented and focuses on day-to-day problems of Indian port management. The problems of the Indian ports (including those of tariff regulation by TAMP) are well known, thoroughly analysed, described in detail and widely discussed in the port sector. A final solution for the restructuring of the sector has not yet been found. This report is written with a view to outlining various alternatives which may help the competent authorities to make final decisions on a new/revised port sector regulatory framework.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOADMINISTRATIVE CONTROLAIDS TO NAVIGATIONAUTHORITYAUTONOMOUS PORTBAGGAGEBREAKWATERSBULK TERMINALSCANALSCAPACITY BUILDINGCAPITAL EXPENDITURESCAPITAL INVESTMENTCARGOCARGO HANDLINGCARGO TRAFFICCARGOESCARRIERSCOMMERCIAL BANKSCOMMERCIALIZATIONCOMPARATIVE ADVANTAGESCOMPETENT AUTHORITIESCOMPETITIVE NEUTRALITYCONCESSIONCONCESSION AGREEMENTSCONCESSION CONTRACTSCONCESSION FRAMEWORKCONCESSIONSCONTAINER HANDLINGCONTAINER TERMINALCOST RECOVERYCROSS SUBSIDIZATIONDEBTDIVESTMENTDOCKSECONOMIC CHARACTERISTICSECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC REGULATORENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONFIXED COSTSFIXED FEEFOREIGN EQUITY INVESTMENTFOREIGN INVESTMENTFOREIGN PORTSFREIGHTHARBOURSHIGHWAYSIMPACT ASSESSMENTINFRASTRUCTURE AREASINFRASTRUCTURE CAPACITYINFRASTRUCTURE FINANCINGINFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTSINLAND WATER TRANSPORTINTEREST RATESINTERNATIONAL TRANSPORTINVESTMENT FUNDSINVESTMENT PROPOSALSJETTIESJOINT VENTUREJOINT VENTURE COMPANYJOINT VENTURESLAND USELANDLORD PORTSLEGAL INSTRUMENTSLIABILITY COMPANYLICENSESLIGHTHOUSESMAJOR PORTSMARGINAL COSTSMARINE ENVIRONMENTMARINE SERVICESMARITIME SECTORMARITIME TRANSPORTMARKET CONDITIONSMONOPOLY POSITIONMUNICIPAL ADMINISTRATIONMUNICIPAL PORTSNAVIGATIONOWNERSHIP OF ASSETSPASSENGERSPERFORMANCE INDICATORSPIERSPORTPORT AREAPORT AREASPORT AUTHORITIESPORT AUTHORITYPORT BUSINESSPORT CAPACITYPORT CHARGESPORT COMMUNITYPORT COMPETITIONPORT CONGESTIONPORT DEVELOPMENTPORT DUESPORT ENTERPRISEPORT EXPANSIONPORT FACILITIESPORT FACILITYPORT FUNCTIONSPORT INDUSTRYPORT INFRASTRUCTUREPORT LANDPORT MANAGEMENTPORT OPERATIONSPORT OPERATORSPORT REFORMPORT SECTORPORT SERVICESPORT TERMINALSPORT TRUSTSPORT USERSPORT WORKERSPORTSPOWERPRICE CAPSPRIVATE OPERATORSPRIVATE PORTSPRIVATE SECTORPRIVATE SECTOR PARTICIPATIONPRIVATE TERMINAL OPERATORSPRIVATISATIONPRIVATIZATION PROCESSPROVISION OF INFRASTRUCTUREPROVISIONSPSPPUBLICPUBLIC INFRASTRUCTUREPUBLIC INVESTMENTPUBLIC PORTPUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPSPUBLIC SECTORQUAYSRAILRAILWAYSREGULATORY FRAMEWORKREGULATORY PROCESSRETURN REGULATIONROADROAD TRANSPORTROADSROLLING STOCKROUTESSAFETY STANDARDSSEAFARERSSERVICE PROVIDERSERVICE PROVIDERSSHIPSHIP REPAIRSHIP SAFETYSHIPBUILDINGSHIPOWNERSSHIPPINGSHIPPING LINESSHIPSSTATE OWNED ENTERPRISESSTEVEDORESSTEVEDORINGSURFACE TRANSPORTTARIFF RATESTARIFF SETTINGTAXTENDERSTERMINAL AREATERMINAL CAPACITYTERMINAL OPERATIONSTERMINAL OPERATORTEUTRAFFIC FORECASTSTRANSACTION COSTSTRANSITTRANSPARENCYVEHICLESVESSEL TRAFFICWAREHOUSESWATERWAYSWHARFWHARVESWorld Bank10.1596/12814
