Expand port infrastructure and double cargo-handling capacity

Gujarat has expanded port infrastructure and cargo-handling capacity, but the promised doubling has not been established. The Union shipping ministry’s comparable non-major-port series records capacity increasing from 552 million tonnes a year in 2021–22 to 598 million tonnes in 2024–25. Gujarat Maritime Board reports 608 million tonnes for 2025–26. This is about 10% above the last full pre-election financial year for that part of the port system. A completed coastal jetty at Navlakhi and further port projects also demonstrate physical implementation. These figures measure capacity rather than cargo actually moved. Because the promise covers both major and minor ports, a consistent combined series is still required for a precise overall progress percentage. The evidence supports Partially Done.
