The list of 12 operational Major Ports in the country under the administrative control of the Central Government is available at Annexure-1. Further, two new ports, i.e., Vadhavan Port in Maharashtra and Galathea Bay Port in Andaman and Nicobar Islands, have been notified as Major Ports. The list of 68 operational Other than Major Ports (OTMPs), under the administrative control of the respective State Governments, is available at Annexure - 2. As per the information received from the Government of Andhra Pradesh, the details of ports, which are under construction in Andhra Pradesh, are as follows:
- Mulapeta Port (formerly Bhavanapadu Port), Srikakulam District
- Machilipatnam Port, Krishna District
- Ramayapatnam Port, SPSR Nellore District

The Government has undertaken several measures for the modernisation of ports, including the mechanization of existing berths and terminals, digitalisation and logistics integration, construction of new berths and terminals, capital dredging for increasing drafts suitable for larger vessels, development of road, rail and waterways connectivity, etc. In addition, several initiatives such as elimination of manual forms, facilitation of direct port delivery and entry, installation of container scanners, e-delivery of orders/ invoice/ payments, RFID-based gate-automation system, implementation of Maritime Single Window -SagarSetu 2.0have been undertaken to reduce vessel turnaround time and improve efficiency.
The Government has launched several schemes, missions, and initiatives for the development, expansion, and upgradation of ports across the country. Under the Sagarmala scheme, financial assistance is provided under five pillars, namely, Port Modernization, Port Connectivity, Port-Led Industrialization, Coastal Community Development, and Coastal Shipping and Inland Water Transport, to the implementing agencies like States/ UTs Governments, major ports, and other organisations. The ‘HaritSagar’ green port guidelines have been launched to promote an environment-friendly ecosystem at major ports. The Green Tug Transition Programme (GTTP) has been initiated to drive the transition from conventional fuel-based harbour tugs to greener and sustainable alternatives. In addition, the Government has launched the Cruise Bharat Mission to prioritize cruise tourism development.
The details of funds allocated, sanctioned, and released under the Port Modernisation pillar of the Sagarmala scheme for port development and modernisation including Andhra Pradesh is available at Annexure – 3.
