Port of New Delhi

New Delhi, designated by UN/LOCODE INICD, serves as a pivotal maritime gateway in northern India, strategically situated at 28.6°N latitude and 77.2°E longitude within Delhi’s administrative province. As a key node in India’s import-export network, it facilitates the transshipment of containerized cargo, petroleum products, and raw materials, leveraging its proximity to major riverine and overland corridors. The port operates under Asia/Calcutta timezone, aligning logistical coordination with regional and Indo-Pacific trade rhythms. Though smaller in scale compared to domestic maritime hubs like Mumbai or Chennai, its integration into Delhi’s economic ecosystem and proximity to landlocked northern regions underscores its role in diversifying India’s port infrastructure, enhancing connectivity for critical sectors such as defense, pharmaceuticals, and agriculture within the Indian Ocean trade regime.
