Cargo Traffic at Indian Ports

During the first half (April-September) of 2012-13 major and non major ports in India
accomplished a total cargo throughput of 455.8 million tonnes reflecting an increase of only
1.8% over the same period last year (Table: 1). This is mainly attributable to a decline of
3.3% in the cargo handled at major ports during the first half of the year. In contrast, non-
major ports growth increased to 10.3% in the first half of 2012-13 compared to 8.2% in the
corresponding period of 2011-12. The growth in Indias GDP, Port traffic and growth in
world output, world export volume and world seaborne trade (loadings and unloading) since
2006-07 is given in Chart-I
