India's Port Capacity Grows 22% Amid Logistics Challenges, Report Says
India's port cargo handling capacity increased by 22% from 2.3 to 2.8 billion tonnes annually since 2017-18, with cargo volume rising 38% at major and non-major ports. Despite improved port efficiency and reduced vessel turnaround times, logistical challenges persist, especially delays after customs clearance, which account for 84% of export processing time. A joint FICCI-Kearney report highlights the need to enhance shipping services, inland connectivity, and logistics coordination to support maritime growth and recommends targeted strategies for different port gateways by 2030.
