Deendayal Port Overview

Deendayal Port Overview

Key Characteristics & Location

Deendayal Port (formerly Kandla Port) stands as one of India's most critical maritime gateways. Situated strategically on the Gulf of Kutch in Gujarat, it plays a pivotal role in handling India's EXIM trade. The official UN/LOCODE is INIXY.

Historically recognized as India's largest major port by cargo volume, it specializes in handling vast quantities of liquid bulk (crude oil, petrochemicals) and dry bulk (fertilizers, coal). A defining major trend is the port's rapid transition towards sustainability; it is actively developing designated Green Hydrogen plots and investing in renewable energy to become a next-generation Smart and Green Port.

Logistics Connectivity

The port boasts exceptional multimodal logistics connectivity designed to serve the vast northern and western hinterlands of India:

  • Access Roads: Directly connected to National Highway 41 (formerly NH-8A). Recent initiatives under the PM Gati Shakti master plan include the construction of advanced Road Over Bridges (e.g., the ₹132.51 crore project at LC-235) and dedicated approach roads for green energy hubs to eliminate cargo bottlenecks.
  • Rail Network: A dedicated broad-gauge railway line by Western Railway runs directly into the port, facilitating heavy-haul inland freight.
