Ports: Ports in India play a vital role in the overall economic development of the country. About 95 per cent by volume and 70 per cent by value of the country's international trade is carried on through maritime transport. India has a total of 187 minor ports and 13 major ports spread across the nine maritime states. According to the Planning Commission, the capacity of Indian ports will have to nearly double to 2,302 million tonnes (MT) over the next five years to be able to handle the fast growing cargo traffic.

Shipping: As on 1 January 2012, India had a fleet strength of 1,122 ships with Gross Tonnage (GT) of 11.06 million. Though India has one of the largest merchant shipping fleets among developing countries, it is ranked eighteenth in the world in terms of Dead Weight Tonnage (DWT) with a share of only 1.09 per cent as on 1 January 2011. In comparison, China is ranked ninth with a share of 3.78 per cent.
