KPT is in the process of drafting a proposal for renewal of leases, to soon be sent to the shipping ministry

On the heels of the Union Cabinet giving its nod to convert 1,300 acres from leasehold to freehold at Gandhidham near the Kandla Port in Gujarat, the Centre has asked the Kolkata Port Trust (KPT), too, to devise a strategy for the 2,500 acres in the port’s township area, which are under lease.
