Question:

Which of the following Indian port got approval by Government in April 2024 to become India’s inaugural transshipment port?

Options:

Paradwip

Vizhinjam Port

Ennore

Kandla

Correct Answer:

Vizhinjam Port

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 2 : Vizhinjam Port

Adani Group’s Vizhinjam Port in Kerala has received approval in April 2024 from the government to operate as India’s inaugural transshipment port. This designation is significant as it allows cargo to be transferred from large vessels to smaller ones, contributing to India’s goal of becoming a manufacturing hub. Presently, a substantial portion of India’s transshipment cargo is handled by ports abroad, such as those in Colombo and Singapore.

It's currently under construction but received approval to operate as the country's inaugural transshipment hub.
