“The existing operation and maintenance (O&M) agreements for NSD berths will come to an end in 2024. We intend to take four berths together in the 1st phase and the outer terminal, while the berth 2 and 3 will be taken up in the second phase.
“With this, the entire operations of NSD that comes under the Kolkata Dock System will be done on PPP (public-private partnership) mode,” SMP, Kolkata Chairman Vinit Kumar told PTI.
Kolkata Dock System consists of Netaji Subhas Dock and Kidderpore Dock.
The port has executed a PPP contract for a cluster of six berths in its Kidderpore Dock, and this is considered the first private sector participation in the city’s centuries-old port operation.
Kolkata port has lined up various projects worth Rs 2,500 crore to be executed over the next 3-4 years, he said.
