The port was declared as a major port under the Indian Ports Act, 1908 in March 1999 and incorporated as Ennore Port Limited under the Companies Act, 1956 in October 1999. Hence, pair 1 is correctly matched.<\/li><li><strong>Mundra Port <\/strong>is India\u2019s first private port and largest privately-owned port, located on the northern shores of the Gulf of Kutch near Mundra, Kutch district, Gujarat. It is owned and operated by Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Limited (APSEZ), which is a part of Adani Group. Hence, pair 2 is correctly matched.<\/li><li><strong>Visakhapatnam Port<\/strong> is India\u2019s third largest state-owned port by volume of cargo handled and the largest on the Eastern Coast. It is located midway between the Chennai and Kolkata Ports on the Bay of Bengal. Jawaharlal Nehru Port (Nhava Seva), Maharashtra, is the largest container port in India.
