New Delhi - The Indian ports sector witnessed a 5.3 per cent year-on-year growth in December 2024, marking a recovery after a two-month decline of 1.8 per cent year-on-year during October and November. This growth was primarily driven by increased container volumes at major ports (MPs) and strong performance by Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone (APSEZ).

Cargo handled by MPs rose 3.3 per cent year-on-year in December, following a 3.7 per cent decline in the previous two months. Containers at MPs demonstrated robust growth . . .
