Jawaharlal Nehru Port has reported a 16.49% growth in container traffic, handling 596,790 TEUs (twenty-foot equivalent units) in September compared to the same month last year. The port, which is the country’s premier container hub, managed a total of 512,316 TEUs in September 2023, according to the Jawaharlal Nehru Port Authority (JNPA). In addition to container traffic, the port's total traffic reached 7.38 million tons last month, marking a 6.14% increase from the 6.95 million tons handled in September of the previous year. During September 2024, JNPA processed 569 container rakes and 91,088 TEUs, up from 535 rakes and 84,408 TEUs in the same period last year. JNPA attributes this consistent growth to the efficient operation of its terminals, which meet international standards. Currently, the port operates five container terminals—NSFT, NSICT, NSIGT, BMCT, and APMT. It also features a shallow water berth for general cargo and a liquid cargo terminal managed by the BPCL-IOCL consortium. Additionally, a newly constructed coastal berth connects with other Indian ports, further enhancing the traffic of coastal containers.
