India's port capacity up 22%, logistics gaps remain: Report

India's port cargo handling capacity rose 22% from 2.3 to 2.8 billion tonnes since 2017-18, per a FICCI-Kearney report. However, post-customs delays persist — export cycles exceed eight days at key ports. India also relies on foreign hubs for 75% of transhipment containers, while only 84 of 294 hinterland connectivity projects were completed by July 2026.
