Maritime Trade

The "Cargo Traffic Handled at Major and Non-Major Ports" dataset, presented by the Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways, chronicles the volume of cargo managed at India's significant maritime points. Organized by year and individual states, each identified by a distinct code, the dataset distinctly quantifies cargo volumes for both major and non-major ports. This data is pivotal for understanding the logistical and maritime capabilities of different regions, allowing stakeholders to identify hubs of maritime activity and potential areas for infrastructure development. The insights derived from this dataset can guide policy formulation, investment decisions, and strategic planning in the maritime sector. Overall, it serves as a barometer for India's maritime trade health and infrastructural efficiency.
