Over the years, the role of ports has undergone a significant change. From being only cargo handling points, ports first evolved to take care of other items of the supply chain like warehousing, bagging, value addition to cargo before and after shipment, etc., and later other items of the logistics ecosystem like multimodal facilitation, cargo movement tracking, maximization of fleet usage, etc. Managing this vital mode of transportation is very much important. Infrastructure planning and management plays a crucial role towards a healthy outlook for the ports sector. Unfortunately, Indian ports are far from satisfactory level in terms of their efficiency, time required in custom clearance and many other. Infrastructures of Indian ports are in a very poor stage. In this background, the proposed chapter intends to understand the various bottlenecks and challenges in Port Infrastructure Development in India. This chapter will also intend to identify various stages of port development and future courses along with lessons learnt from the past and the challenges expected in future with special reference to India for sustainable port infrastructure development to increase international trade of India.
