Total 26 companies had submitted their applications in response to EoI and 71 interests received for the development of warehouses/ product specific warehousing at various locations across the country. The information received in response to the EoI has been forwarded to the relevant Port Authorities for taking the projects forward in discussion with the interested companies. As of now there is no requirement of a separate policy for implementation of these projects as the existing policies are sufficient to deal with the related matter.
