Location

One of the key advantages JNPA offers as a Port is close proximity to Mumbai, the economic capital of India and also a strongly connected network of rail and roadways network from other major cities across the country. The accessibility to the Port is very critical for key stakeholders as it makes Trade convenient and provides ease of doing business. We are looking to strengthen this network and have planned many projects in and around the Port area to enhance our connectivity and make it beneficial for trade and commuter traffic.
