The Performance Guarantee shall be refunded in full, six months after the commissioning of the Terminal - subject to clearance of all pending dues of Railway by the GC.

After issue of the Letter of Allotment, the procedure and time- lines - for submission and approval of ESP and other related activities - in accordance with Schedule'1' shall be followed.

Successful bidder shall commence construction within three (03) months of the grant of approval of construction or handing over the railway land (whichever is later) and complete construction within eighteen (18) months of the grant of approval or handing over the railway land (whichever is later). If the bidder fails to adhere to the prescribed time-lines, one extension may be granted with the approval of DRM, up to a maximum of Six months - considering the merits of the case

Under exceptional circumstances beyond the control of the bidder and also considering investment already made by the applicant, DRM may grant a further extension of up to six months.

If the bidder fails to complete the construction even after the lapse of such extensions (point 6 & 7 above), the Agreement will be terminated and Performance Guarantee will be forfeited.

At the time of cancellation of the Agreement, the Railway land shall revert back to Railway.

The Railway land used for providing connectivity to the Terminal shall remain in possession of Railway, along with the entire infrastructure created on it (as per provisions of para 5.1.2 & 5.1.3 of GCT Policy).

Railway land where GCT is developed partially or wholly on railway land (except for Railway land provided for the connectivity to GCT as mentioned in para 13 of Schedule 1 & 2) will be leased to GCTO - for which modalities of calculating and levying land lease charges shall be as per extant rules/Board's Master circular on 'Policy for Management of Railway land' (issued vide Railway Board's letter No. 2021/LML/25/5 dated 04.10.2022)--as amended from time to time.

Land Area of 16,884 Sq. Mtr. is available for construction of GCT under schedule-II at Bowaichandi Railway Station.

Responsibility for maintaining the track and signalling equipment shall be as per the provisions of para 7 of GCT Policy. Responsibility of maintaining loading/ unloading wharf(s), roads, drainage, etc, shall rest with the GCT.

GCTO shall also be responsible to ensure that the entire infrastructure of Terminal is properly maintained and is duly upgraded/ replaced at the end of codal life, as per Good Industry Practices.

Subject to the provisions of para 14 of GCT Policy, Schedule '2', GCTO will be free to create infrastructure and/or to provide value-added services/ facilities (such as warehousing, processing, packaging, etc.) provided that such infrastructure/ value-added services/facilities, if created, shall be available to all users of the GCT without discrimination of any sort. However, if some value added facility created on Railway land cannot be used by more than one user simultaneously, than the Operator may deny the use of such facility - which is under the occupation of one user - to other users. This is essential to avoid the damage of the different grades of material due to mixing. However, in such cases intimation must be given to the Divisional Railway Manager.

For sake of clarity, if (say) a 'silo for storing bulk commodities' has been constructed as a value-added facility, and it is being used by customer 'A' to store his bulk cement (either temporarily or on a long-term basis), then the Operator will have the right to deny other customer(s) the use of this silo - since it is not possible to store commodities belonging to two different customers in a single silo.

GCT will also have the authority for deciding the user charges/ fees for value-added services/facilities as per market conditions - without any interference from the Railway. However, the use of value-added services/ facilities will be optional and no customer will be forced to use those services or to pay for them. Such value-added services/ facilities shall conform to Good Industry Practices.

GCTO shall not sub-lease/ sub-license/ mortgage Railway land, and shall not create any third-party encumbrance on Railway land.

For any value-added service/ facility developed on Railway land, GCTO can use the facility for traffic handled by other modes of transport after passage of two years from commissioning under the condition that the Railway Traffic handled by the terminal in the previous year is more than 2,50,000 Tonnes. Railway reserves the right to undertake any inspection of the Terminal to safeguard its interests and to direct the GCTO2 to discontinue such activities if such activities are detrimental to Railway's cargo business, failing which the Agreement may be terminated. For avoidance of doubt, such termination will be treated as default by the GCTO.

The responsibility of obtaining all statutory and environmental clearances for such value-added services, if required, shall rest solely with the GCTO. Any violation of statutory compliance will invite merit for termination clause of the Agreement on GCTO's default. Any liability/ default created by such violation will be the sole responsibility of the GCTO, and Railway will not be responsible for this.

GCTO shall use Railway land for activities related to Railway cargo business only. If the GCTO indulges in any commercial activity not related to Railway cargo business on Railway land or fail to adhere to the provisions of para 16 and its sub-paras of this Schedule '2', the Agreement for GCT may be terminated without any compensation/ termination payment to the GCTO. For avoidance of doubt, such termination will be treated as default by the GCTO. In case of any dispute whether any activity is related to Railway cargo business or not, the decision of the nodal officer (i.e. DRM) shall be final and binding on the GCTO.

The GCT located completely or partially on Railway land will remain a common-access facility, and GCTO shall ensure non- discriminatory access for all rail-customers/ potential customers to such Terminals. The GCTO will not prevent any rail-customer/ potential customer from accessing the Terminal (provided the facilities for handling their cargo exists at the terminal). Road access to the GCT will not be blocked by the GCTO. However, if some value added facility created on Railway land cannot be used by more than one user simultaneously, than the Operator may deny the use of such facility - which is under the occupation of one user - to other users. This is essential to avoid the damage of the different grades of material due to mixing.

For sake of clarity, if (say) a 'silo for storing bulk commodities' has been constructed as a value-added facility, and it is being used by customer 'A' to store his bulk cement (either temporarily or on a long-term basis), then the Operator will have the right to deny other customer(s) the use of this silo - since it is not possible to store commodities belonging to two different customers in a single silo.

No Wharfage shall be levied by Railway for storing/ stacking of goods on land leased/ licensed to the GCTO.

All handling (loading and unloading) of cargo at a GCT shall be done by the GCTO (or any agency appointed/ authorized by him), for which handling-charges/ fee, as decided by the GCTO, may be charged. Handling charges/ fee for shall be fixed in a nondiscriminatory manner, and shall conform to Good Industry Practices.

GCTO will have the permission to expand the Terminal further by acquiring/ leasing the adjacent non-Railway land. However, any such acquisition/leasing of additional land will have to be managed by the GCTO through his own resources. Railway will not charge any Land License Fees/ Land Lease Charges for the additional non-railway land acquired by the GCTO.

In such cases, the levy of Terminal Charges and Terminal Access Charges - and their sharing with the GCTO - will continue as before as per the decided principle.

Railway land shall be leased to the GCTO and the GCT Agreement shall be signed for a maximum tenure of 35 years or as per guidelines under Railway Board 'Policy for Management of Railway Land dated 04.10.2022' (as modified from time to time). At the time of expiry/termination/cancellation of Agreement, the Railway land shall revert back to Railway.

A joint team (comprising Sr.DOM, Sr.DCM, Sr.DEN, Sr.DSTE & Sr.DEE/TRD) shall inspect the GCT at least once a year to ensure that there is no breach of Agreement or policy provisions by the GCTO. In addition, inspections may also be conducted by Railway officials as per the provisions of para 16.2 and 17 of Schedule '2' of this Policy. If any breach/violation on part of the GCTO is detected during these inspections, Railway shall take action as per para 19 of the main policy.
