Indian container volumes rise

Container volumes at India’s state-owned ports have risen year-on-year in April and May 2016.

At the country’s 12 state-owned, so-called ‘major ports’, throughput was up 4% in this period.

At the biggest of these ports however, Jawaharlal Nehru in Mumbai, growth was just 1% with the privately run facilities performing badly and the state-owned one performing well.
