Jawaharlal Nehru Port becomes India's first port with
100% Landlord Model
Recently Jawaharlal Nehru Port has become the first major port in India to have 100% Landlord Model, with.all berths operating on Public- Private Partnership model.
In this model the publicly governed port authority acts as a regulatory body and a landlord, while private companies operate the port which mainly involves cargo-handling activities.
In this model, the port authority owns the port, while the infrastructure is leased out to private firms, who themselves provide and maintain the superstructure of the port and install their own equipment to handle the cargo. In return, the Landlord Port continues to receive
a portion of the revenue from the private entity.
Jawaharlal Nehru Port
It is located in Navi Mumbai, which is the major container handling port in India, with about 50% of the
total containerized cargo volume in the major ports of India.
It was commissioned in the year 1989 and in the three decades of its operation, the JNP Bulk Cargo
Terminal has become a major container port of the country.
