PSA Mumbai Crosses Historic 13 Million TEUs Milestone to Solidify Container Leadership
Securing its standing as a major economic gateway for South Asia, PSA Mumbai has achieved a massive operational milestone by crossing 13 million TEUs (twenty-foot equivalent units) in cumulative container throughput. Located at the Jawaharlal Nehru Port Authority (JNPA) complex, India's largest container terminal hit this landmark capacity marker shortly after activating its heavily integrated Phase 2 expansion facilities.
