| India has
around 6,000 kms of natural peninsular coastline strategically located
on the crucial East-West trade route which links Europe and Far East,
with 12 major ports and about 180 minor and intermediate ports. Most of
the major ports were established in the last few decades after
independence. Besides, major ports like Kolkata and Mumbai were
established more than hundred years ago during the British colonial
rule. The author has analyzed the import performance of India’s twelve
ports and forecasts the future trend of their import performance for ten
more years. |
