Rotterdam delivers Indian view
10 Apr 2008
India should develop large-scale industrial and logistic clusters and encourage more private investment, a recent report on Indian ports prepared by the port of Rotterdam has found.
This could be the answer to the country’s lack of natural deep-water ports.
While the report noted that the government is actively pursuing a role for the private sector in port development, a major effort is still to be made in this area.
The 12 largest ports in the country dominate 75% of trade and therefore effectively function as a cartel. There is very little competition between them, especially given central government regulation in terms of rates.
