JNPA Sets Record with 7.94 Million Containers in 2025
Jawaharlal Nehru Port Authority (JNPA) in India had a very successful year in 2025.
They handled a record number of big containers, called TEUs, which was 7.94 million.
This is a lot more than the 7.05 million they handled in 2024, showing a big increase of 12.64%.
The busiest month was December, with 7,11,412 TEUs.
Overall, the port moved 99.17 million metric tonnes of cargo, which is 9.86% more than before.
The growth is partly because they expanded one of their terminals, called PSA Mumbai, which can now handle even more containers.
The head of JNPA, Gaurav Dayal, said this shows that there is steady demand and better teamwork between the port, shipping companies, and service providers.
JNPA handled a record 7.94 million TEUs in 2025, a 12.64% increase from 2024.
December 2025 saw the highest monthly throughput with 7,11,412 TEUs.
Overall cargo handled rose by 9.86% to 99.17 million metric tonnes.
The growth is attributed to stable demand and improved coordination among terminal operations, shipping lines, and service providers.
The expansion of the PSA Mumbai terminal, which now has a capacity of 4.8 million TEUs annually, contributed to the increased throughput.
