Total Indian port capacity

Modi ahead

No comparable cross-country series exists for this measure, so no synthetic counterfactual can be estimated. The verdict here compares observed Indian figures over time — a weaker basis than the estimated indicators.

What this measures

Total Indian port capacity, in MTPA. A rising number is an improvement. Reported by Ministry of Ports, Shipping & Waterways / PIB.

It stood at 1561 in 2014, and under Modi’s current India reached 2817 by 2026 — a rise of 81%. That is an improvement against India’s pre-2014 figure.

No comparison country reports an equivalent series, so there is no Rahul's India to compare against. This is a before-and-after reading, not a treatment effect.

The 2010 proxy is not comparable with later all-port capacity totals.

The counterfactual is 'India without the 2014 structural break', estimated from comparator countries. It is not a forecast of any individual's policies.
