About This Seaport

Handling on the order of 6.5 million TEU a year, Jawaharlal Nehru Port (Nhava Sheva, IN NSA) is India's leading major-port container gateway, sitting across the harbour from Mumbai. The complex is split among several terminals: JNPCT (now DP World), NSICT and NSIGT, the GTI terminal run by APM Terminals, and PSA's BMCT, which sharply expanded capacity. Rail access via the Western Dedicated Freight Corridor and a wide network of inland container depots ties the port deep into northern India, including Delhi and the NCR, alongside dense road links. Cargo is predominantly consumer and manufactured goods in containers, with reefer and project shipments too, while customs clearance runs through India's ICEGATE system on site. Draught constraints push the very largest vessels toward other ports, which is why the new Vadhvan deep-water project is being developed nearby. For shippers, Mundra, Hazira and Pipavav on the west coast are the main alternatives. Even so, Nhava Sheva remains the backbone of containerised foreign trade on India's western seaboard.
