 Sagarmala?
• Sagar- sea or ocean

• Mala- a string of
prayer beads.

• Sagarmala-
development of ports
around Indian coastal
lines in the shape of
prayer beads.
 What is sagarmala?
The Sagarmala Program is a strategic ₹8.5 trillion (US$120 billion or
€110 billion) investment initiative of the Government of India entailing setting
up of new mega ports, modernization of India's existing ports, development of
14 Coastal Employment Zones (CEZs) and Coastal Employment Units,
enhancement of port connectivity via road, rail, multi-modal logistics parks,
pipelines & waterways and promote coastal community development,
resulting in boosting merchandise exports by US$110 billion, and generation of
around 10,000,000 direct and indirect jobs. The Sagarmala Program is the
flagship program of the Ministry of Shipping to promote port-led development
in the country through harnessing India’s 7,500 km long coastline, 14,500 km
of potentially navigable waterways and strategic location on key international
maritime trade routes.
 Background
• The Sagarmala Program was originally mooted by the National
Democratic Alliance (India) Government under Atal Bihari
Vajpayee in 2003.

• On 25 March 2015, Cabinet gave approval for the Sagarmala

Program. The National Sagarmala Apex Committee (NSAC),
composed of the Minister of Shipping, with Cabinet Ministers from
stakeholder Ministries and Chief Ministers / Ministers in-charge of
ports of India's maritime states as members, provides policy
direction and guidance for the initiative’s implementation. The
NSAC approved the overall National Perspective Plan (NPP) and
regularly reviews the progress of implementation of these plans
• To assist in implementation of Sagarmala projects, the
Sagarmala Development Company Limited (SDCL) was
incorporated on 31st August 2016, after receiving
Cabinet approval on 20thJuly 2016, for providing
funding support to project SPVs and projects in-line
with Sagarmala objectives.
• The Indian Port Rail Corporation
Limited (IPRCL) was incorporated
on 10th July 2015 to undertake
the port-rail connectivity projects
under Sagarmala Program.
 Need for Sagarmala
• Indian ports lags behind the Global average in Turn around time. Turn

around time at major ports in India are approximately 4 to 5 days whereas

the Global average is 1 day

• To optimize the logistics costs for existing and future capacities. 94% of

Indian freight uses either road or rail for transportation of goods. It creates

an idle time in transit. Increasing the internal water transport system will

reduce the idle time. And cost of transportation via waterways is cheap.
Mode of Transportation Transportation Cost (Rs/Ton-Km)
Road 2.0-3.0
Rail 1.2-1.5
Waterways 0.2-0.3
Pipelines 0.1-0.15

development and completion.
 Port-Modernization

• Since about more than 90% of India's trade by volume is conducted via the

country’s maritime route, there is a continuous need to develop India's ports and

trade related infrastructure to accelerate growth in the manufacturing industry

and to assist the 'Make in India' initiative.

 Port-connectivity enhancement
• Under Sagarmala Program, endeavor is to provide enhanced
connectivity between the ports and the domestic
production/consumption centers. More than 210 connectivity
projects have been identified.
Some of the types of connectivity projects considered are listed below:

• Coastal Berths at various major and non-major ports

• National waterways prioritized for development in the first phase

• Heavy haul rail corridor from Talcher to Paradip

• Connectivity to Dedicated freight corridors

• Last mile rail and road connectivity projects

• Major rail connectivity projects

• Freight friendly Expressway projects connecting the major ports

• Development of Multi-Modal Logistics Parks

• POL Pipelines
 Port-linked Industrialization
• For port linked industrialization, development of coastal economic
zones and coastal economic clusters have been made.

• A special economic zone (SEZ) is an area in which business and

trade laws are different from the rest of the country. SEZs are
located within a country's national borders, and their aims include:
increased trade, increased investment, job creation and effective
administration. To encourage businesses to set up in the zone,
financial policies are introduced.
Coastal Economic Zones(CEZ)
• In November 2017, with the development of first Special

Economic Zone centered around the busiest cargo ports in

India that handles 40% of India’s export-import

volume, Jawaharlal Nehru Port east of Mumbai, was initiated.

Several large companies from telecom, auto and IT sectors are

expected to bid for the 200 hectares of export-oriented

manufacturing units in the SEZ to reduce export logistics cost,

thus also generating direct jobs by infusing new technology,

investment and world's best management practices.

 Coastal Community Development
• Approximately 18% of India's population lives in the 72 coastal
districts and that comprise 12% India's mainland. Since these
people are critical stakeholders ensuring their well being is
important.

• A Community Development Fund (CDF) have been created to fund

projects related to community development under sagarmala.

• Under this fund, skill development for coastal communities and

marine fishermen community development programs is to be
made.
