Nhava Sheva (JNPT) CFS Charges Calculator
Model total CFS dwell cost at India's busiest container port — ground rent slabs plus handling add-ons.
Set a tier's days to 0 to mean “all remaining days”.
JNPT-area CFSs bundle a one-off shift/handling charge with daily ground rent slabs. Around thirty CFSs compete around the port — their published cards differ meaningfully, so compare before nominating.
With your numbers: 13 days − 3 free = 10 chargeable days = 4×₹420 + 6×₹850 + ₹2,200 = ₹8,980 per TEU.

Demurrage, detention and storage tariffs are set by each carrier, terminal and contract and change frequently. The preloaded figures are editable industry-typical examples, not quotes — always verify against the current published tariff or your service contract before paying or disputing an invoice.
Nhava Sheva (JNPT) is India's busiest container port, and its surrounding belt of thirty-odd Container Freight Stations is where most import dwell cost actually accrues — a one-off shifting and handling charge to move the box from terminal to station, then slab-wise ground rent per TEU per day after the free period.
About Nhava Sheva (JNPT) CFS Charges Calculator
The defaults reflect that two-part structure: ₹2,200 one-off shift/handling plus 3 free days and ₹420/₹850/₹1,700 slabs. Because JNPT's CFS market is genuinely competitive, published cards vary — some stations trade higher ground rent for lower handling, and the cheapest card for a fast-clearing importer differs from the cheapest for a slow one. This calculator lets you total each candidate card across your typical dwell. Two levers cut the bill structurally: nominate your own CFS (consignees can, rather than defaulting to the line's choice — lines' nominated stations don't compete for your business) and pursue DPD eligibility, which skips the CFS leg entirely for boxes cleared within the terminal window. The shift charge you never pay is the best tariff line of all.

Frequently asked questions
Can I choose my CFS at Nhava Sheva?+
Yes — importers/consignees can nominate a preferred CFS rather than accepting the shipping line's default, and the nomination is precisely why station cards stay competitive. Compare two or three published cards against your typical dwell days using this calculator; the spread on a 10-day dwell routinely exceeds a thousand rupees per TEU.
What's included in the one-off CFS handling charge?+
Typically terminal-to-CFS transportation, handling at the station, and standard destuffing for LCL — but inclusions differ by card, and 'extras' (amendment fees, survey charges, weekend delivery) are where bills pad. Ask for the full tariff card, not the headline rate; the fixed-fee field here models whatever bundle your station quotes.
How does DPD change the Nhava Sheva math?+
Direct Port Delivery lets eligible importers clear at the terminal within the prescribed window — no shift charge, no CFS ground rent at all. JNPT pushed DPD hard precisely to cut dwell. The discipline requirement is real though: miss the window and the box moves to a CFS anyway, now with the shift cost and a compressed free period.
When does ground rent start if the CFS shift was delayed?+
From landing at the CFS — and shift delays (terminal congestion, trailer shortage) are the custodian chain's problem, not your free time. Cross-check the CFS gate-in date on the invoice against the terminal gate-out record; counting from terminal discharge instead of CFS landing is among the most common errors on JNPT-belt invoices.
