*Maintenance dredging was not carried out at JNPT for the year 2017-18 as capital
dredging was in progress.

It is foreseen that Major Ports shall deepen and widen their navigational channel to attract
deep draft vessels and the forecast indicate, net dredging quantity may be approximately 3
billion cu m (1.6 billion cu m capital and 2.4 billion cu m maintenance) to be dredged in next
10 years(Source**). To dredge 3 billion cu m in next 10 years coupled with review of
projects establish greater challenges and strict enforcement of certain process and
procedure to achieve objectives of guidelines.
