Q. Which among the following is the first corporatized major port in India?
Answer: Ennore
Notes: Kamarajar Port is the first and only corporatized major port in India. It was formerly known as Ennore Port and is located on the Coromandel Coast, about 18 kilometers north of Chennai Port. Kamarajar Port was declared a major port in 1999 and incorporated as Ennore Port Limited in 1999. It is the 12th major port in India and is managed by Kamarajar Port Limited (KPL). A corporatized port is a port authority that behaves like a private enterprise. This management model separates ownership and control, which reduces pressures from both the public and private sectors.
