Enayam Port

Tamil Research Institute
RAPID TECHNO-ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY REPORT FOR
DEVELOPMENT OF COLACHEL PORT AT TAMILNADU
FINAL REPORT
(b) Growth of the neighboring trading centers – as the new centers of the enhanced commercial and
services activities linked to the Project operations. This growth trend is expected to sustain beyond the
operation phase of the Project.
(c) Establishment of homes by some of the immigrants, who may decide to settle permanently in the area.
5.4.4.2. Rise in Land Prices
One of the most immediate impacts of a development project – with its attendant linkages to vibrant economic
activities, is steep rise in land prices – as potential investors compete for suitable space to site their investments in
the new land of opportunity. This has the effect of forcing out the locals farther into the interior – whilst the new
settlements prosper.
5.4.4.3. Loss of land during construction and operation Phases
As the port is to be developed entirely on the reclaimed land no land acquisition is envisaged for the port
development. (see next image)
However, as it can be easily appreciated in the map, the project shadow area can isolated fishermen dwellings.
Unlike fishing village the families are not fully in to fishing occupation. Mostly these people are dependent on the
Colachel-Enayam fishing harbour.
Coastal land-use from Colachel to Enayam will change to a Port area. As a result of the Project development,
this part of the sea coast and beaches will be permanently lost during the construction
and operation of the Project
In addition for developing other facilities like road/rail connectivity, warehouse, residential areas, truck terminal
etc require land in the vicinity. Future expansion of inland Port related activities such industries can may need
extra areas which may impact on population and private properties. Relocation of the local community may
cause conflicts with local people. .
Land owners (including resorts owners in that area) and land users will be affected by the loss of land and their
livelihood might, if these are dependent on land, e.g agricultural activities. Reclamation, ancillary facilities,
connectivity infrastructures (roads, etc) may affect land owners Land owners and land users.
