The seaport is part of a large business conglomerate in India. The port had grown substantially from its humble beginning and became the largest commercial cargo port in India. The organization had integrated mechanized coal handling facility which needed capex spend for augmenting the capacity and minimize operational delays.

Work Executed

Created model for cargo scenario
Accurately computed operational parameters for multiple complex situations
Assessed the requisite infrastructure and facilities
Worked out financial implications of different scenarios

Value Delivered

The model correctly portrayed the actual results. The exercise provided deeper insights into the port’s operating parameters and how they affected the financial obligations. Using the results from the exercise, the organization could bring down the immediate capex requirement from Rs. 700 Cr to Rs. 175 Cr only.
