About This Seaport
Crude oil, petroleum products, chemicals and LPG dominate the cargo book of Mumbai Port (IN BOM), which now leaves most container traffic to neighbouring Nhava Sheva (JNPT). Run by the Mumbai Port Authority on the city's eastern waterfront, the port specialises in liquid bulk, dry bulk and break-bulk or project cargo. Its Indira Dock offers around 4,000 metres of quay at roughly 9.1 metres depth; in 2025/26 Mumbai handled about 46.8 million tonnes of petroleum products, ranking among India's largest liquid-bulk ports. Heavy-lift and over-dimensional (ODC) consignments are a particular strength, while the Ballard Pier berths mainly serve cruise vessels. Dense urban surroundings make road and rail hinterland access demanding. For containerised cargo in the Mumbai region, JNPT (Nhava Sheva) and the new Vadhvan port are the practical alternatives.
