Enayam Port

Tamil Research Institute
RAPID TECHNO-ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY REPORT FOR
DEVELOPMENT OF COLACHEL PORT AT TAMILNADU
Traffic projections: Colachel FINAL has REPORT potential for 6-26 Mn Tonnes
of coal traffic by 2030
Key Assumptions for traffic projections
Traffic projections
Aggressive
Scenario
Base Scenario
Conservative
Scenario
• No expansion at Tuticorin due to
better IRR at Colachel.
• Colachel port gets coal traffic
from the new captive power
plant as well as coal traffic from
Udangudi power plant
• Tuticorin expands coal handling
capacity or coal jetty for
Udangudi is constructed
• Colachel port gets coal traffic
only from the new captive power
plant
• Tuticorin expands coal handling
capacity due to better IRR
projection
• Colachel port is unable to attract
investor for the new captive
power plant.

Oil refineries are commonly located at regions with close access to ports. However, as seen in the following
figure, the existing refineries and the planned ones are not in proximity to Enayam port location. As per the
petroleum ministry and oil companies, there is limited possibility of deviating from the planned refinery rollout.
Hence, the Limited study does scope not account for for Colachel any POL traffic to for get the access port. However, to refinery possibility for of POL traffic can be reevaluated
at a later date.
handling petroleum in the short term
All existing refineries linked to existing major ports; No
greenfield refinery planned in the captive hinterland of Colachel

• Creating a refinery near Colachel port
has multiple advantages:
– Greater draft will allow larger
vessels and reduce logistics cost
– Bunkering cost will come down
significantly
– Transshipment traffic and
bunkering facility will complement
each other
– Colachel can be made into a POL
trading hub, creating oil reserves
and future energy security
The possibility to develop a refinery
is limited at present; at a future date
the option can be re-evaluated
based on any change in refinery
rollout plans
