Mumbai Port Unveils Integrated Master Plan 2047

Mumbai Port Authority has launched its Integrated Port Master Plan 2047, outlining a long-term strategy to expand capacity, modernise infrastructure and improve operational efficiency over the next two decades.

The plan targets cargo handling capacity of over 100 million tonnes per annum and includes upgrades to liquid bulk handling and chemical infrastructure. It also focuses on redeveloping underutilised port land into high-value maritime and urban districts, supporting broader economic growth in the Mumbai region.

The roadmap is supported by a traffic assessment conducted by CRISIL, which projects total port traffic to rise from 68.3 million tonnes per annum to 106.2 million tonnes per annum by 2053. Liquid bulk cargo transported through pipelines is expected to increase from 39.0 million tonnes per annum to 56.5 million tonnes per annum.

In addition, the plan anticipates steady growth in coastal shipping and road-based transport for commodities such as steel, cement, fertilisers, chemicals and automobiles. The strategy is designed to address competitive pressures from the neighbouring Nhava Sheva port and persistent traffic congestion in Mumbai, while reinforcing Mumbai Port’s role as a critical national maritime gateway.
