The Union government owned Jawaharlal Nehru (JN) port, India's busiest container handling port located in Navi Mumbai, has received eight initial bids for developing a US$150m container terminal to boost capacity and ease congestion.
A port spokesman said the groups that applied for qualification were: DP World Pvt. Ltd, L&T Transco Pvt. Ltd, Group Mari- time TCB-Eredene Capital Plc, Mundra Port and SEZ Ltd, Ster- lite Industries Ltd-Leighton Contractors (India) Pvt. Ltd, ABG Infralogistics Ltd-IL&FS Maritime Infrastructure Co.

The port handles around 50% of India's container cargo. The port runs one of the three container handling facilities. The other two are run separately by DP World and a joint venture of APM Terminals Management BV and state-owned Container Corp. of India Ltd.
JN port plans to develop a small terminal with a berth length of 330m and a capacity to handle 800,000 containers.
