JNPT plans fifth terminal at Nhava Island

The Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust, country's biggest container port, is planning a fifth container terminal in the Nhava Island area. The terminal is expected to add a capacity of 8 million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) to the port for which a pre-feasibility study has already begun.

“It will take us five to six years to float the tender. But prior to that a lot of ground work needs to be done, such as environment impact assessment, negotiating for the land etc,” said Luxman Radhakrishnan, Chairman.
