Project Concept
The concept
The project envisages Development of Government fish farms on PPP mode based on the raw
material strength of Gujarat such as marine fishing and inland freshwater shrimp farming.
Inland Fish Production during 2014-15 6.6 Mn tons 1.1 lakh tons
Total Fish Production during 2014-15 10.1 Mn tons 8.1 lakh tons
Development of Fisheries Harbour (as per FAO norms) will ensure that all
activities related to fishing including fish catch, its proper landing,
Benefits preservation, sale with/without value addition are carried out in as per
internationally accepted norms and guidelines, to promote the fish
production and its export.

Overall fish production in India has shown an increasing trend since 1950s. Although Indias
marine fisheries production has reached a plateau and only marginal increase is predicted in
the near future. Further increase is likely to be achieved from exploitation of deep-sea
resources.
Depth-wise marine fish production potential shows that about 86.84% of the resources (3.837
mn tons) are available in the 100m depth zone; 5.86% (0.259 mn tons) in 100-200m depth; and
2.59% (0.115 mn tons in the 200-500m depth zone.
In addition, the harvestable potential of marine fishery resources in the EEZ has been
revalidated in 2011 at about 4.42 mn tons.
The fishery sector is also a major foreign exchange earner in the Indian economy. Export
demand of the country is placed at 8 to 10% of the total fish production in India.

investments The GoI also plans to invest INR 330 crore for the development of Fishing
Harbours under the 'Sagarmala' initiative.
The government has recently launched the Agro Business Policy (2016-21)

Gujarat - Competitive
Advantage
Location advantage of Gujarat
Gujarat acts as a
gateway to the
Western countries
and to some of
the major states
across India
Gujarat has strategic location providing access to major international and domestic markets.
It acts as a gateway to northern and central India; connecting them via road, rail and air - thereby
providing immense trading opportunities.
Ports of Gujarat (including Kandla) handled 41% of national maritime trade in FY14.
Long coastline
Gujarat has 1,600 km long coastline and about 0.21 mn sq. km wide EEZ.
The area available for fishing activities extends from Lakhpat in Kutch district in north to
Umargaon in Valsad district in south.

* These estimates are based on other fisheries harbour projects in Gujarat such as Development of Fishery Harbour at Navabandar
(Gujarat) and Mangrol-Phase-III (Gujarat).

* These estimates are based on other fisheries harbour projects in India such as Development of Fishery Harbour at Mangalore
(Karnataka), Nellore (AP), Navabandar (Gujarat), Mangrol-Phase-III (Gujarat), Madhwad (Gujarat) and Navagaon-Thal (Maharashtra).
The total cost for Bhadeli-Jagalala has been assumed to be 75% of that of Porbandar, due to the difference in port size.

Approvals
Approvals from Gujarat Maritime Board (GMB) for the proposed development of fishery harbour.
Approval for land from relevant authorities such as GMB, State Revenue Department etc.
Permissions from relevant authorities for water and electricity supply such as Paschim Gujarat
Vij Company Ltd., Dakshin Gujarat Vij Company Ltd. and Gujarat Water Supply & Sewerage
Board.

Incentives
National Fisheries Development Board Guidelines for Infrastructure for Fisheries Harbours
NFDB proposes to provide funding to establish additional facilities at incomplete Fisheries
Harbours. It would provide 100% financial assistance to those cases (a) where the schemes
already taken up by the State Governments have remained incomplete even after the original
project cost has been fully spent and (b) where even after completion of the project, certain
critically needed additional facilities have to be created.
The existing Fisheries Harbours owned by State/Central Govt. Departments, Maritime
board/Port trust, Boat owners associations and cooperatives will be eligible for the support.

This project profile is based on preliminary study to facilitate prospective entrepreneurs to assess a prima facie scope.
It is, however, advisable to get a detailed feasibility study prepared before taking a final investment decision.
