Connectivity of Major Ports, brought out in 2006. In fact, several railway projects other thanthose identified in the presentations before the Committee that are relevant for the miningsector are alsounder execution.4.22 The present position of the railway projects relevant for mining, including those thatwere identified, is described in Table 4.3.Table 4.3: Current Position of Railway Projects Relevant for MiningSl.No.Name of project Km Approx. cost(Rs crore)Likely date ofcompletion1 Banspani–Keonjhar–Daitari: New line 155 800.69 October 20062 Dalli Rajhara–Rowghat Jagdalpur: New line 235 457.0 Not fixed3 Haridaspur–Paradip: New line 82 594.34 December 20084 Mahanadi Bridge: Doubling 3 109.56 June 20085 Angul–Skinda Road: New line 90 344.0 March 20096 Kottur–Harihar: New line 65 135.55 December 20117 Hubli–Ankola: New line 167 997.58 October 20098 Obulavaripalli–Krishnapatnam: New line 113 426.34 October 20109 Banspani–Padapahar: Doubling 27.21 99.55 March 200910 Jharsugda–Sambalpur: Doubling 48.66 127.04 March 200911 Sambalpur–Titlagarh: Doubling 182 474.25 March 201112 Guntakal–Hospet: Doubling 115.4 350.21 March 200713 Guntakal–Renigunta: Doubling with151 538.26 December 2008electrification14 Vizianagaram–Kottavalasa: Third line 34.70 167.67 December 200915 Goilkera–Manoharpur: Third line 40 186.92 December 200916 Bhatapara–Urkura: Third line 110 375.42 October 200817 Bilaspur–Anuppur: Doubling 127 409 December 2009In addition to the above, the following projects that are mainly intended to facilitate themovement of minerals are in the survey stage:• Doubling of track from Hospet to Vasco• Doubling of track from Rajagoda to Haldia• Attiputtu–Puttur: New Line• Doubling of track on Kirandul–Kttavalsa line• Third line from Kharagpur to Panskura• Doubling of track on Raipur–Titlagarh line.During the meetings of the Committee, the Railways representative clarified that theseprojects would be taken up eventually only on the basis of traffic projections.104
4.23 The export of iron ore has increased from 37.27 million tonnes in 2000–01 to 78.14million tonnes in 2004–05, i.e. a growth of more than 100 per cent in a span of five years.Port-wise exports of Indian iron ore are indicated in Table 4.4.Table 4.4: Port-wise Exports of Indian Iron Ore(million tonnes)Port 2000–01 2001–02 2002–03 2003–04 2004–05 (p)Chennai 6.79(18.22)7.43(17.84)7.98(16.62)8.23(13.15)9.54(12.21)Haldia 0.35(0.94)1.62(3.90)2.69(5.60)3.74(5.98)4.96(6.35)Goa 17.56(47.12)18.90(45.39)21.97(45.75)30.72(49.10)31.42(40.21)Mumbai-FL --- --- 0.15(0.31)0.04(0.06)0.05(0.06)New Mangalore 4.43(11.89)4.86(11.67)5.62(11.71)6.86(10.97)9.40(12.03)Paradip 2.73(7.32)3.19(7.66)4.13(8.60)5.48(8.76)9.05(11.58)Visakhapatnam 5.41 5.64 5.48 6.898.65(14.51) (13.54) (11.41) (11.01) (11.08)Karwar --- --- --- 0.500.80(0.80) (1.02)Note: p: provisional figures.

However, it was found that the ambitious port developmentplan taken up by the Ministry of Shipping already includes these projects, and some of themhave even been completed as described below:(i)(ii)(iii)The wagon tippers in Chennai Port have already been revamped and replacedas per the requirements of the iron ore exporters;Ennore Port plans to take up within a year the development of an iron oreberth through public–private partnership to handle 12 million tonnes of ironore;At Mangalore, the port already has the depth for receiving vessels with adraught of 14 metres and is proposing to increase it to receive vessels of 17metres draught. The port is also planning for mechanical unloading andstacking;105
