		<title>Small ports: govt mulls oversight</title>
		<link>http://www.financialexpress.com/news/Small-ports-govt-mulls-oversight/538272/</link>		
		<description>All of India's 187 non-major ports--including a clutch of them with capacities larger than some of the 12 notified major ports-could soon be brought under the jurisdiction of Tariff Authority for Major Ports. The move would reduce the ability of a number of these smaller ports to attract cargo from major ports, as Tamp regulation would divest them of the freedom to fix competitive tariffs. Currently, Tamp regulates tariffs of only major ports. States like Gujarat, which have built sizeable port capacities and privatised operations to a large extent, would be hit by the move.</description>
