25 May 2026 CW Team

Mumbai Port Authority held a stakeholder meet in Mumbai on 22 May 2026 to review its cargo performance for FY2025-26 and discuss the next operational target of 80 million metric tonnes.

The port handled 75.15 million metric tonnes of cargo during FY2025-26, its highest cargo throughput so far. The performance represented an 8.22 per cent share of all-India major port cargo, a 35 per cent market share in iron and steel EXIM cargo, 15.5 per cent in liquid bulk cargo and 10.48 per cent in coastal trade.

Dr M Angamuthu, IAS, Chairperson, Mumbai Port Authority, said the achievement reflected the collective contribution of port users, trade partners and supporting Central and State government institutions. He added that every million tonne of cargo handled through the port generates revenue, supports employment and contributes directly or indirectly to India’s economic growth.

The meeting highlighted Mumbai Port’s distinct operating model, with a significant share of cargo handled through offshore and allied systems. The presentation focused on key performance indicators linked to cargo growth, vessel handling, faster turnaround, improved berth use and higher volumes to make port operations more cost-effective and competitive.

Port users, terminal operators, trade representatives, industry stakeholders and senior officials participated in the discussions. Upcoming projects, including the proposed marina development, were also highlighted as part of the authority’s future growth plans.

Mumbai Port Authority said it will continue working with port users and trade partners to improve operational efficiency, cargo handling and service delivery, while adopting eco-friendly cargo handling practices to support India’s maritime growth.
