Country’s premier container port Jawaharlal Nehru Port on Thursday said the overall cargo traffic at its facility hit a record 100-million metric tonnes in the current financial year, besides the container traffic surpassing 8-million TEUs (Twenty-foot Equivalent Units) in FY 26.

In another development, the facility announced the commencement of the JJS service by Global Feeder Shipping at PSA Mumbai, one of the container terminals at JNPA, with the marked inaugural call of MV SSF Dynamic on March 24.

“The record performance of crossing the 8 million TEUs benchmark along with achieving 100 MMT overall throughput reflects the resilience, efficiency, and dedication of all stakeholders, including terminal operators, and our workforce,” said Gaurav Dayal, Chairman at JNPA.

JNPA remains committed to further strengthening its infrastructure, enhancing ease of doing business, and contributing to India’s vision of becoming a global maritime hub, he added.

The port operator said its traffic profile continues to be largely gateway-driven, reflecting its core role in handling the nation’s gateway cargo, while transhipment volumes are gradually increasing.

JNPA continues to undertake strategic infrastructure development and digital transformation initiatives to cater to growing trade demands and strengthen its global competitiveness, it said.

On the launch of the JJS service, JNPA said the newly introduced service features a comprehensive port rotation: Mundra ‘ Nhava Sheva ‘ Jeddah ‘ King Abdullah ‘ Sokhna ‘ Aqaba ‘ King Abdullah ‘ Jeddah ‘ Mundra, strengthening maritime connectivity between India and key ports across WEst Asia region.

The introduction of the JJS service is expected to enhance service reliability and provide greater stability to trade flows, particularly in the context of the evolving situation in West Asia, it said, adding the service will support Indian exporters and importers by ensuring continued access to critical markets and improving supply chain resilience.
