The government of India has decided on a policy to develop the central and southern part of the coastal area (the Konkan Region), which presently is largely agricultural and little developed. The definitional mission (DM) Study Group selected eight sites for the development of port facilities. The Water Transport Commissioner gave five of these eight sites priority for the purposes of the DM. Hence all reference in the Report for tasks to be performed for ports are related to the following five sites: Ratnagiri, Dabhol, Dighi, Jaigad, and Redi. Another priority of the Water Transport Commissioner is the establishment of a waterway along the entire coast of the state. The tasks indicated in the Report also refer to the coastal waterway.
