JNPT calls bids to develop SEZ on 296 acres

The JNPT Port, Mumbai, will soon call for fresh bids to develop a Special Economic Zone (SEZ) on 296 acres of industrial area developed near the port. This would be the second bidding process of JNPT management in the last two months.

A senior JNPT official told BusinessLine that the bidding would be on electronic platform and advertisements will be published by Tuesday (Nov. 15). Last time around, the highest bid to buy an acre of land was about 12 crore.

The Shipping Ministry had given its green signal for calling the bids, the official said.

The new bidding process will, again, test the market appetite for such an important and large parcel of land. While the global electronic contract manufacturer Foxconn had placed a bid in the last auction, its participation in the current auction is not known, the official said.
