Ports in India are classified as Major and Minor Ports according to the jurisdiction of the Central and State government as defined under the Indian Ports Act, 1908. Major Ports are under the Union list of the Indian Constitution and are administered under the Indian Ports Act 1908 and the Major Port Trust Act, 1963. Each major port is governed by a Board of Trustees appointed by the Government of India. The tariffs for major ports are fixed by the Tariff Authority for Major Ports (TAMP). Minor operates are managed at the State level by the department in charge of ports or the State Maritime Board, if created, as is the case in Gujarat, Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu.
The functions of the State maritime boards are similar to those of port trusts, and also include the authority to set tariffs. They also focus on attracting private investment by awarding concession contracts, providing incentives, exclusivity rights and assuring land acquisition.
