Deendayal Port Trust retains Numero Uno position while handling more than 117.5 MMT cargo during FY 2020-21

Backed by support from Port Users and the shipping fraternity and the efforts by Port staff, DPT has handled more than 117.5 MMT cargo during FY 2020-21, despite low demand supply situation prevailing on account of the Corona pandemic and two cargo berths spared for maintenance for the major part of the financial year. The port had handled cargo of 122.61 MMT during FY 2019-20, thus resulting in a decrease of only 5 MMT or 4.12%.

The port handled dry cargo (including containers) at Kandla to the tune of 536.30 lakh MTs in FY 2020-21 as compared to 486.40 lakh MTs in FY 2019-20 with an increase of 10%. Liquids at Kandla were 148.16 lakh MTs as compared to 157.84 lakh MTs, a decrease of 6%. At Vadinar the port handled 480.33 lakh MTs as against 558.09 lakh MTs with a decrease of 14%. Transhipment cargo was 10.79 lakh MTs as compared to 23.74 lakh MTs, resulting in a decrease of 4%.

Notably, despite the tough situation globally at KICT, the Container Terminal handled around 5.15 lakh TEU in FY 20-21 as compared to 4.47 lakh TEU last fiscal, which is commendable. This is the first time in the history of DPT that the Port has crossed 5 lakh TEU in container handling.

Concerted efforts and a series of positive initiatives taken by the Deendayal Port Administration have led to this success, in all spheres like efficiency, productivity, cost-effectiveness, transparency and Port User satisfaction under the able leadership of the Chairman, Shri S.K. Mehta IFS, and Shri Nandeesh Shukla, IRTS, Deputy Chairman.
