(e) The  capacity of a Multi Modal  Logistics Park (MMLP)  is determined during the Detailed Project Report (DPR)/ project implementation stage through market studies. MMLP Development is planned to be developed in phases based on land  availability,  ensuring  scalability  while  balancing  throughput and storage requirements. The capacity expressed in Million Metric Tons  per  Annum  (MMTPA),  is  optimized  with  due  consideration  to access-controlled highways/expressways and the Dedicated Freight Corridor, as well viability.  The  capacity  of  awarded  MMLP projects, in terms of total cargo volumes to be handled across all

connectivity with key corridors such as as overall financial modes in the horizon year, is annexed.
