India has a 7,500 km long coastline and 14,500 km of potentially navigable waterways. The 12 major and 200 non-major ports located along the Western and Eastern coastlines have so far been responsible for 90% of India’s trade by volume.
The Sagarmala project was launched to promote port-led direct and indirect development and to provide infrastructure to transport goods to and from ports quickly, efficiently and cost-effectively.
