By surpassing this landmark well ahead of schedule, the terminal has once again demonstrated its capability to keep pace with rising cargo volumes and evolving global trade demands.

Strengthening Deendayal Port’s Position

This accomplishment is not just a win for KICT, but also a boost for Deendayal Port, which continues to strengthen its position as a leading hub for India’s maritime trade. With growing efficiency in handling large volumes, KICT is emerging as a frontrunner in setting new industry benchmarks for reliability and operational excellence.
