After the Major Ports Regulatory Authority Bill is enacted, how will port charges be decided? Will the Government still be able to intervene in decisions about port charges(especially in the EnnorePort)?
Reply: The Major Port Regulatory Authority Bill is in preparatory stage. Comments on the Bill are being taken on the various items of the Bill from all stake holders. The content of the Bill including port charges etc. will be clearer once the Bill is finalized. It will be premature to comment on the aspects of the bill at this stage.
