In financial year 2023, there were a total of 229 ports in India. Out of these 217 of them were non-major ports, while the rest of them were major ports. These figures were the same as the previous year.
India's financial year begins in April and ends in March. For example, FY 2016 started in April 2015 and ended in March 2016.
Major ports are under the union list while the non-major ports are under the concurrent list of the constitution of India. Therefore, major ports are under the administrative control of government of India while the non-major ports are governed by the respective maritime state governments.
