The Chennai Port Authority (ChPA) has introduced the Non-Containerized Cargo Incentive Scheme (NCCS) 2026-27, offering wharfage concessions of up to 80 per cent and loyalty bonuses of up to 10 per cent to eligible customers, as part of efforts to boost cargo volumes and strengthen partnerships with trade and industry.
According to an official release, the scheme covers Liquid Bulk cargo (excluding POL Crude and POL Products), Dry Bulk and Break Bulk cargo, including both coastal and EXIM cargo handled through port-operated berths.
The initiative is designed to attract additional cargo traffic, reward customer loyalty and encourage long-term business commitments. Existing customers will be eligible for loyalty incentives, while new customers can benefit from substantial concessions linked to incremental cargo volumes routed through the port.
ChPA said the scheme aims to increase cargo throughput, enhance ease of doing business and further consolidate Chennai Port’s position as a preferred gateway for non-containerized cargo on India’s East Coast.
The Port Authority has also invited the trade community to partner in its growth plans through long-term cargo commitments. It expressed willingness to enter into mutually beneficial Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) with interested trade partners to facilitate cargo growth and foster enduring business relationships.
With incentives of up to 80 per cent on eligible incremental cargo volumes, loyalty benefits and opportunities for strategic partnerships, ChPA said the NCCS 2026-27 marks a significant step in its next phase of expansion and customer engagement.
