The classification of Indian ports into major, minor and intermediate has an administrativesignificance. Under indian constitution, maritime transport falls under concurrent list ie. it should

be administered by central govt as well as the state governments.

While the shipping ministry of central govt administers the major ports, the minor and

intermediate ports are administered by the relevant departments or ministries of the nine coastal

states.

It should be noted that some of privately owned ports which do not figure as major, intermediate

or minor, handle more cargo than some of the major ports. Eg. mundra handled 36 million tons in

2008-09 which is more than ennore (11.5 mn tons), tuticorin (20 mn tons), cochin (15 mn tons) in

the same years.
