India’s state-owned ports handled 855 million metric tonnes (MMT) of cargo in the financial year 2024-25, reflecting a 4.4% increase compared to the previous year. This growth indicates continued expansion and efficiency improvements in the country’s port infrastructure.
Among the major contributors, Deendayal Port and Paradip Port handled the highest cargo volumes, with coal, crude oil, and container cargo being the primary drivers of growth. Increased demand for energy resources,
raw materials, and manufacturing goods has led to higher cargo movement across these key ports.
The Indian government has been actively investing in port modernization, automation, and capacity expansion to facilitate smoother trade operations. Additionally, initiatives under Sagarmala and PM Gati Shakti have helped optimize logistics, reducing turnaround times and enhancing cargo-handling capabilities.
With India’s growing trade activity and rising exports, state-owned ports continue to play a pivotal role in the nation’s economy.
