Country's ports achieved only 79.80 million tonne per annum (MTPA) capacity addition during 2010-12 as against envisaged 315.23 MTPA. CAG in its report tabled in Parliament also said Public Private partnership (PPP) projects have contributed only 33 per cent to total capacity of major ports up to March 2014, Government had decided to invite private participation through PPP mode for faster augmentation of infrastructure resources in major ports. A total of 91 PPP projects with total capacity addition of 751.71 MTPA were sanctioned by the government up to March 2014. The audit report on Public Private Partnership Projects in Major Ports also said that PPP projects could contribute only 33 per cent to the total capacity of major ports as on March 31st, 2014. CAG said thus the purpose of resorting to PPP mode was defeated due to slow progress in implementation of projects.
