The
lion coastline of India is dotted with 11 major ports
which are managed by the Port Trust of India under
Central Government jurisdiction and 139 minor operable
ports under the jurisdiction of the respective State
Governments. The major ports are located at Kolkata
/ Haldia, Mumbai, Jawaharlal Nehru Port at Nhava Sheva,
Chennai, Cochin, Vishakhapatnam, Kandla, Mormugao,
Paradip, New Mangalore, and Tuticorin. The major ports
handle 90 per cent of the all - India port throughput,
and thus bear the brunt of sea borne trade. |
