Abstract

With global trade booming, efficient Indian ports are crucial. However, weak hinterland connectivity, the link to inland areas, hinders their effectiveness. This review examines how infrastructure development, investment, and hinterland connectivity impact port efficiency, competitiveness, and costs. It explores historical trends, current infrastructure status, and investment scenarios. Successful case studies offer insights into seamless port-hinterland integration. The analysis considers emerging technologies and government initiatives like Sagarmala. Ultimately, the review aims to inform policy recommendations for sustainable growth, highlighting the importance of continued investment and strategic infrastructure development for Indian ports to thrive globally.
