The bidders will be required to prepare a feasibility study report along with a statement of total investment required and expected revenue generation. In 2012, KPT had appointed Mumbai-based marine consultancy provider, Zebec Marine Consultants and Services to prepare an initial techno-feasibility study of the project based on which bids were invited to select the developer. As of May 2013, Three bidders have submitted their expressions of interest (EOIs) for the
project. The evaluation of the EOIs is yet to complete.
