Mumbai Port (also known as the Bombay Port) is a port which lies midway on the west coast of India, on the natural deep-water Mumbai harbour in Maharashtra. The harbour spread over 400 square kilometres (150 mi2) is protected by the mainland of Konkan to its east and north and by the island city of Mumbai to its west. The harbour opens to the south to the Arabian Sea.
The port is administered by the Mumbai Port Authority (MbPA), an statutory body of the Government of India. Originally established as the Bombay Port Trust (BPT) in 1873, it was renamed the Mumbai Port Trust (MbPT) following the city's renaming, and finally transitioned to its current legal title on 31 January 2022 under the Major Port Authorities Act, 2021. The port is primarily used for bulk cargo, while most container traffic is directed to Nhava Sheva port across the harbour.
