JNPA surpasses throughput of 8 million TEUs and 100 MMT this fiscal; lauds terminals operators

Sets new records again

Jawaharlal Nehru Port Authority (JNPA), India’s largest container port, has surpassed 8 million TEUs in container throughput during the fiscal year 2025-2026 (year-to-date) last week, marking another important milestone. In addition, the port achieved the highest annual handling performance since its establishment, with an overall cargo throughput of 100 million metric tonnes (MMT). 

JNPA marked this landmark by convening a stakeholder meet with terminal operators, where the Authority acknowledged that the accomplishment is a collective outcome of strong collaboration across the maritime trade ecosystem, whose continued partnership has been instrumental in driving JNPA’s sustained growth and operational excellence.

Addressing the terminal operators, Mr Gaurav Dayal, IAS, Chairperson, JNPA, and CMD, VPPL, said: “Crossing the 8 million TEUs benchmark along with achieving 100 MMT overall throughput is a proud moment for JNPA, and the entire trade community associated with us. This record performance reflects the resilience, efficiency and dedication of all stakeholders, including terminal operators, and our workforce. We remain committed to further strengthening our infrastructure, enhancing ease of doing business and contributing to India’s vision of becoming a global maritime hub.”

JNPA’s traffic profile continues to be largely gateway-driven, reflecting its core role in handling the nation’s gateway cargo, while transhipment volumes are gradually increasing. 

JNPA continues to undertake strategic infrastructure development and digital transformation initiatives to cater to growing trade demands and strengthen its global competitiveness, it highlighted in a communique.
