'Commissioned in 1885 on the site of a natural harbour, it is one of India's oldest ports'; 'The port was recognised as a major port in 1963 under the Major Port Trusts Act, 1963', and 'It was renamed from "Mormugao Port Trust" to "Mormugao Port Authority" in 2022' (source: Mormugao Port wiki excerpts).

What we could not confirm
Only the year (2022) of the Trust-to-Authority rename is verified, so the date uses January 1 as a placeholder day/month. District (South Goa) is inferred from Mormugao location. Revenue, profit, cargo tonnage for 2024-25/2025-26, and employee as-of date could not be verified from accessible pages; the port's interior pages were rate-limited (503). Statute succession (2021 Act replacing 1963 Act) is stated as legal form but the 2021 Act text itself was not accessible.
