Which is the largest port in India by total cargo handled?
- a.Chennai Port
- b.Jawaharlal Nehru Port
- c.Mumbai Port
- d.Visakhapatnam Port
No option is correct as printed — this question is disputed. WBPSC awarded the mark to all candidates: none of the listed ports is the largest by total cargo — that is Deendayal (Kandla) or Paradip among major ports, and Mundra overall.
Answer as of 2023 — this may have changed since.
No correct option is listed: among major ports Deendayal (Kandla) and Paradip handle the most cargo, and Mundra, a private port, handles the most of all. Jawaharlal Nehru Port is the largest container port, which makes it tempting, and Chennai, Mumbai and Visakhapatnam all handle less cargo, so the PSC awarded the mark to all candidates.
