Which of the following are satellite ports?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Nhava Sheva and Haldia.
Satellite ports are developed to reduce congestion at major ports by handling overflow cargo. Nhava Sheva (also known as Jawaharlal Nehru Port) is a satellite port to Mumbai Port, while Haldia Port serves as a satellite port to Kolkata Port. These ports help in improving the efficiency and handling capacity of maritime trade. In contrast, Chennai, Mumbai, Paradwip, Visakhapatnam, Mormugao, and New Mangalore are classified as major or independent ports.
