What this measures
Cargo handled by all Indian ports, in million tonnes. A rising number is an improvement. Reported by Ministry of Ports, Shipping & Waterways / PIB.
It stood at 973 in 2014, and under Modi’s current India reached 1668 by 2026 — a rise of 72%. 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.
