JNPA to Boost Container Handling Capacity to 10 Million TEU by 2024

Jawaharlal Nehru Port Authority (JNPA) is set to increase its container handling capacity to 10 million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU) by April 2024. The expansion is aimed at accommodating the growing demand for containerized trade, positioning JNPA as a leading hub for maritime commerce in India.

This capacity upgrade is part of JNPA?'s broader strategy to enhance its operational efficiency and infrastructure to meet the increasing global trade volumes. With this expansion, JNPA is expected to handle larger volumes of cargo, reducing congestion and improving turnaround times for shipping lines.

The current container handling capacity at JNPA is around 7.5 million TEU, and the planned increase will further strengthen its role as a key player in India's maritime trade. The authority has been investing in modernising its facilities, including the addition of advanced container terminals, upgraded rail connectivity, and digitalization of port operations to streamline processes.

This move is also aligned with the government's vision to boost the country's logistics and trade infrastructure under the National Monetisation Pipeline (NMP). The increased capacity will help meet the demands of both domestic and international markets, making JNPA a critical node in India's export-import chain.

Once completed, this expansion will not only support India's trade growth but also attract more global shipping lines, enhancing the country's competitiveness in the international shipping industry.
