MUMBAI : Jawaharlal Nehru Port Authority (JNPA) has commenced FY 2026-27 on a strong note, recording robust growth in both container throughput and overall cargo handling during the first quarter of the financial year.
During the April–June 2026 period, JNPA handled 2.25 million TEUs, registering a 15.36% year-on-year growth, while total cargo throughput reached 27.84 million tonnes, reflecting a 15.04% increase compared with the corresponding period of the previous financial year.
The strong performance highlights JNPA’s sustained operational excellence, enhanced terminal productivity, and its growing role as India’s premier gateway for international trade. The continued increase in cargo volumes underscores the confidence of global shipping lines, exporters, importers, and logistics stakeholders in the port’s efficient infrastructure and world-class services.
The growth has been driven by improved vessel turnaround, seamless multimodal connectivity, streamlined cargo evacuation through road and rail networks, and sustained capacity enhancements across the port ecosystem. JNPA’s strategic focus on digitalisation, process optimisation, and infrastructure development continues to strengthen supply chain resilience while supporting the growing demands of India’s EXIM trade.
As India’s largest container port, JNPA remains at the forefront of the country’s maritime logistics transformation, playing a pivotal role in improving trade competitiveness and facilitating faster, more efficient movement of cargo. The port continues to support the Government of India’s vision of developing world-class port infrastructure under initiatives such as PM Gati Shakti and Maritime Amrit Kaal Vision 2047.
Building on this strong start to the financial year, JNPA is well positioned to sustain its growth momentum through continued investments in capacity expansion, smart port technologies, and enhanced multimodal connectivity, further reinforcing its status as a key driver of India’s economic growth and global trade.
