The twelve Major Ports, Chennai Port, Cochin Port, Deendayal Port, Jawaharlal Nehru Port, Kamarajar Port, Mormugao Port, Mumbai Port, New Mangalore Port, Paradip Port, Syama Prasad Mookerjee Port, V.O. Chidambaranar Port, and Visakhapatnam Port - are under Government of India. Except Kamarajar Port, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Chennai Port Authority, incorporated under the Companies Act, the remaining 11 major ports are governed by the provisions of the Major Port Authorities Act, 2021. Major Ports provide common infrastructure and regulatory oversight, while specified berths and terminals are developed and operated either by the Port Authority or through private participation under the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) mode or the Captive Policy, 2016.
During the last ten years, several terminals and port infrastructure projects have been developed under the PPP mode through transparent and competitive bidding. No Major Port has been privatised, and the ownership of land and core port assets continue to vest with the respective Major Port Authority/Government of India. The details of terminals at Major Ports that have been developed under the PPP model during the last ten years are at Annexure-A.

* Provisional data - Unaudited
To ensure transparency, competition and protection of public interest in the management of Major Ports, the Government has standardized the Model Concession Agreement (MCA), and all PPP projects are awarded after open competitive bidding.
The Government continues to promote the landlord port model by encouraging private sector participation in the development, operation, maintenance and modernization of port infrastructure through the PPP mode, wherever feasible through competitive and transparent bidding. This approach aims to enhance operational efficiency, augment capacity, attract private investment and improve service delivery, while the ownership and overall administration of Major Ports continue to remain with the respective port authorities.
This information was given by the Union Minister of Ports, Shipping and Waterways, Sarbananda Sonowal, in a written reply to the Rajya Sabha.
