Kamarajar Port, located on the Coromandel Coast about 24 km north of Chennai Port, Chennai, it is the 12th major port of India, and the first port in India which is a public company. The port was declared as a major port under the Indian Ports Act, 1908 in March 1999 and incorporated as Ennore Port Limited under the Companies Act, 1956 in October 1999. The Kamarajar Port is the only corporatized major port and is registered as a company. Today, the landlord port is the dominant port model in larger and medium sized ports.

The port authority constitutes a landlord, which manages the basic port assets by letting land and infrastructure to port operators in an efficient manner. The Landlord Port in this model would be involved in planning, lease negotiation, safety, navigation and overall coordinating functions. Cargo services, marine service, ancillary services, berths etc are privatized on captive/BOT basis to the primary port users. Port operators and other undertakings which need to be located in the Port, lease the land, infrastructure and associated services and provide them to the secondary users – cargo owners, ship owners and cargo ship owners.

With a view to improve efficiency and cost-effectiveness, the role of Indian ports is changing from a Service port model to a Landlord port model.
