Most major ports in India are governed by Port Trust Boards under the Major Port Trusts Act, 1963. However, Ennore Port (now officially known as Kamarajar Port Limited), located near Chennai, was the first major port in India to be incorporated as a company under the Indian Companies Act, 1956 (now the Companies Act, 2013). This allows it greater operational and financial autonomy compared to the traditional Port Trusts.
