Summary

  • APM Terminals Pipavav placed 28th globally in the 2025 Container Port Performance Index, making it India’s top-ranked private container port and the country’s second-highest container port overall.
  • Its CPPI score rose to 92.6 from 78 in 2020, a gain the port attributed to five years of operational upgrades and efficiency improvements measured by vessel time in port.
  • That ranking puts Pipavav ahead of larger Indian ports including Mundra and Jawaharlal Nehru Port, strengthening its role as a gateway for northwest India’s industrial markets.
  • The Gujarat port operates under India’s first public-private partnership port model and has annual container capacity of 1.35 million TEUs, alongside bulk and RoRo cargo handling.
  • The World Bank and S&P Global index covers more than 400 ports worldwide; a separate report showed Chinese ports took seven of the top 10 spots in 2025.
