The Jawaharlal Nehru Port has five terminals and Jawaharlal Nehru Port Container Terminal (JNPCT) is the only one that is self-operated.

The royalty due will increase yearly in line with the rise on the basis of the Wholesale Price Index (WPI). The contract period is for 30 years. The investment for the project will be Rs 872 crore.
