<br/><br/> Ports play a pivotal role in India’s economy, handling over 90% of merchandise trade by volume and supporting strategic and developmental priorities. However, inefficiencies and low productivity constrain trade competitiveness and economic growth. This paper examines total factor productivity growth in Indian ports, focusing on the Sagarmala programme. The findings indicate that although major ports have witnessed productivity improvements, there remains significant divergence in performance across ports since the programme’s implementation.-Reproduced <br/><br/>https://www.epw.in/journal/special-articles/changing-profile-major-ports-india.html<br/>
