KPT plans new container terminal.

Kandla Port Trust (KPT) is planning to set up a container terminal at Tuna-Tekra in Gulf of Kutch. As many as 12 engineering consulting firms have submitted their bids for carrying out feasibility studies to set up the container terminal at Tekra, about 5 kilometers from Tuna.

'A container terminal is being planned off-Tekra near Tuna port under a public private partnership (PPP) model. We have invited bids for technical advisors to undertake feasibility study at the location. It would take about four-six months to finalise an advisor,' said a senior KPT official.

In January, KPT had invited bids for appointment of technical advisor for carrying out feasibility studies for setting up of container terminal at Tuna-Tekra at Kandla Port.
