In a letter dated December 10, Kerala Chief Minister Vijayan said, “As the Rs 817.80 crore provided by Government of India is to be repaid on Net Present Value (NPV) basis, this would result in repayment of Rs 10,000 to 12,000 crore from the State Exchequer in actual terms, computed on projected interest rates and revenue realization from the port for repayment.” (ANI)
