Analysis of port performance is an important area of study not only in India but also in the world. Ports play an important role in a country’s economic growth by facilitating international trade. So, it becomes very crucial to measure the efficiency of port trusts. Through this research paper, the efficiency of two major Indian port trusts has been measured. It measures efficiency in terms of Average Turnaround Time (TT) (In days), Average Pre-berthing Detention (PBD) (in Days), Average Output per Ship Berth Day (OSBD) (Tonnes) and Berth Occupancy (BO) (%). The study is confined to 4 difference ratios to measure the efficiency of the Port trusts in India and 2 major port trusts i.e., Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust (JNPT) and Mumbai Port Trust (MbPT). The Data for the 5 years from 2016-17 to 2020-21 are gathered and analysed using the independent sample t test. The analysis shows that there is a significant difference between the selected ports for the one out of four ratios and it is for Average Output per Ship Berth-Day. Further the performance of JNPT is better than the MbPT.

Keywords: Average Output per Ship Berth Day, Average Pre-berthing Detention, Average Turnaround Time, Berth Occupancy, Port Trusts.
