JNPA Climbs to 21st Among World’s Top Container Ports

JNPA is a large container port in India, also called Nhava Sheva.

It moved up seven places in the world rankings to 21st.

The port handled about 4.4 million standard containers in the first half of 2026.

That was 13.6% more than it handled in the same period in 2025.

More Indian imports and exports helped increase its business.

More terminal capacity also allowed it to handle additional containers.

Some cargo that normally traveled through the Middle East was redirected to Indian ports because of disruptions near the Strait of Hormuz.

Colombo port ranked just ahead of JNPA, while Mundra also made the global top 30.

Shanghai remained the busiest port in the ranking.
