Courtyard by Marriott, Mumbai International Airport,India

India's future growth in the port sector is undeniable. Containerization of the market and increasing cargo throughput volumes are leading to very aggressive expansion and construction plans. At the end of June 2010 it was made public that the Indian Government is investing $12bn in ports within the National Maritime Development Programme. The premier objective of the government is to expand port capacity to 1.2 billion tons. Bids for 25 port projects are now open.

Noppen's India Port Expansion and Capacity Upgrading Conference, hosted in Mumbai on 21-22 October 2010, will gather government representatives, terminal operators, shipping lines, port authorities and solution providers around the pressing question of how to develop India's ports into efficient trade hubs.
