Abstract:

This paper has tried to study and compare the efficiency of Major Ports in India. It also tries to make the comparison of Indian Ports to that of the Ports like Singapore and other developed countries ports. Various parameters are taken into onsideration while comparing the ports. To derive the conclusion from the comparison of major ports in India, it can be said that JNPT is the only port that has shown positive efficiency for the past five to six years. The cost of handling cargo per tonne has reduced at JNPT port while other ports has shown a continuous rise. Though the total cargo handled by JNPT is not the highest as Vishakhapatnam, Mumbai or Kandla, the traffic handled has shown a continuous rise. About 50% of the Container cargo in the country is handled by JNPT. This paper also compares the major ports in Maharashtra like JNPT and MPT with that of the port of Singapore and calls for major reformation at JNPT and MPT to be at par with the international standards
