Dahanu is now the proposed site for a $1 billion port to be built by P&O Ports, Australia. The lone bidder for the project, P&O Ports has already received a letter of intent from the government. The government and the P&O Port authorities are planning to pursue the port project even though it is in violation of the Supreme Court of India. The Dahanu Notification of 1991, declaring Dahanu to be ecologically fragile, mandates that there may be no change in land use patterns in Dahanu's 245,000 acres, no transfer of tribal holdings, and no further industrial development. The notification also allows for a total of only 500 acres to be used for industry. The Supreme Court has also forbidden any kind of development that is not sensitive to the Adivasis. However, while the Indian government might profess a concern for protecting the lifestyle of the few indigenous people of India, on several occasions they allow industrialists to bring polluting industries to tribal belts.
