It is good to note that the financially strong JNPT port is investing heavily on dry ports front to facilitate quicker movement of goods on land to increase the port capacity. It would be better if JNPT port, which is 50% partner for the INDB-MMR rail project, sanction more funds in 2018-19 than than its due share i.e. just 100 crores and request IR to allot more funds to the project in supplementary grant of 2018-19 and in budget of coming years.
