National Ranking for Indian Ports Underway as Private Ports Flourish

As India's private ports sector experiences growth, the nation is gearing up to establish a comprehensive national ranking for its ports. With approximately 230 ports in operation, including a burgeoning private sector, the move reflects a commitment to benchmarking and enhancing the overall efficiency and competitiveness of India's maritime infrastructure. The ranking initiative recognises the significant role played by private ports in the country's trade and logistics landscape. It is poised to provide stakeholders, investors, and the public with valuable insights into the performance and contributions of various ports, fostering healthy competition and driving improvements in the sector. As the ranking system takes shape, it underscores India's strategic focus on optimising its maritime capabilities. The evolving dynamics in the ports sector align with the broader goal of enhancing trade facilitation, reducing logistics costs, and bolstering India's standing in the global logistics arena.
