India has the potential of raising dollar-based funds from international markets based on dollar earnings of port sector, Minister of road transport and highways, Nitin Gadkari, said in Singapore on 24 April 2017.

“Today we have potential in ports sector, we have turnover of Rs.5,000 crore in dollars,” he said in an address to the investors at the roadshow launch of National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) bonds in Singapore on 24 April 2017.

“We are in the mood to sign the agreement for borrowing for major ports,” said the minister, pointing out that India has 12 major port development programme along the main coasts and some 400 minor ports within the inland waterways.

India has had successfully raised Rs.3,000 crore worth of dollar-denominated funding for port development in the past.
