How much cargo did Visakhapatnam Port handle in FY 2025-26?
- A.74.50 million tonnes
- B.83.60 million tonnes
- C.91.17 million tonnes
- D.104.20 million tonnes
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is 91.17 million tonnes, a record for Visakhapatnam Port. The volume was about 10% higher than the previous year, and the port has kept up continuous growth for four consecutive years since FY 2021-22. Visakhapatnam is one of three established ports in the state, the others being Gangavaram and Krishnapatnam. Options A, B and D are plausible-looking tonnages that do not appear anywhere in the announcement. Two further figures from the same event are worth holding alongside this one: projects worth more than Rs 560 crore had their foundation stone laid at the port, and the four Global Maritime Investment Summits held so far have attracted investment of about Rs 25 lakh crore into India's maritime sector.
