Increased handling of POL and coal, and easing of the supply chain globally have helped in the increased cargo handling

Cargo handling at India’s major ports continues to be on the growth trajectory as there was an 11 percent increase in traffic in the first half of this fiscal to 384 million tonnes (mt) as against 346 mt in the same period last year. The increased handling of POL and coal, and the easing of the supply chain globally have helped in the increased cargo handling.
Except for Mormugao port, all the other major ports reported positive growth in the first six months of this fiscal, according to data from Indian Ports Association.
