RAPID TECHNO-ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY REPORT FOR
DEVELOPMENT OF COLACHEL PORT AT TAMILNADU
FINAL REPORT
6.2.2. Bulk traffic projections
Based on the detailed assessment of the bulk traffic, it clearly appears that share of coal is by far the highest
amongst all bulk cargo in the hinterland. The coal traffic itself is driven by demand from thermal power plants. To
project coal traffic in Enayam, two types of sources have been studied. The demand for new captive power
plants and the demand for already planned power plants in the region. Further, projection has been made for
new captive plants, beyond the planned period, by projecting the power demand supply gap in T.N. Finally,
feasibility of Enayam to serve the planned power projects has been studied in detail.
The approach for bulk traffic estimation is described in the following figure.
Key driver of bulk traffic

Demand-Supply Gap
Traffic Projection
• Coal traffic drives majority of
the traffic in the region
• Estimate the portion of coal
traffic in total and the drivers
for coal traffic
• Project the power demand
using historical trends and
global benchmarks
• Assess the pattern followed
by other countries,
particularly China
• Estimate the demand-supply
gap in the coming years
based on the planned supply
of power plants in the next 5
years
• Forecast Colachel traffic by
assessing the share of
traffic it can take from
planned power plants and
captive power plant at
Colachel
Coal from power plants drives the break bulk traffic at the
shortlisted ports
Coal accounts for ~80 % of dry
bulk cargo
~83 % of coal off-take is used for thermal
power plants & captive plants
Coal traffic will be driven by demand for thermal
power plants
Figure 76 Approach for bulk traffic projections
1. Captive Power Plants
Even after accounting for the proposed power plants in Tamil Nadu, it is estimated that demand will surpass
supply post FY 22 (figure 64). Hence, there is a potential to develop a new power plant in Enayam to meet the
gap in the subsequent years. (figure below).
